a new Phantom Band video (and a European tour)

It’s clear that video director Rachel Maclean has seen Charlie & The Chocolate Factory (the original!), Holy Mountain, and Monty Python, as her direction on the new acid-drenched video for The Phantom Band‘s “Everybody Knows It’s True” definitely straddles them all. The clip comes from Phantom Band’s latest release The Wants, out now via Chemikal Underground. – BBG

So far no US dates (they were last here with Frightened Rabbit and right before that during CMJ), but you can see all of their European dates, as well as the video below….
