Minor Victories, aka Rachel Goswell of Slowdive, Stuart Braithwaite of Mogwai, Justin Lockey of Editors, and his brother James Lockey, have shared another song off their upcoming debut album. “Folk Arp” is ethereal and majestic widescreen rock, as you might imagine given the members, and you can watch the video, directed by the band’s James Lockey, below. Lockey has also been making short films in conjunction with the album, and you can watch the first two (and the “A Hundred Ropes” video) below as well.
