UNDERSMILE Premier New Video For The Track ‘Soil’ On The Sleeping Shaman




UNDERSMILE and director M. Arthur Wickson are very happy to present the music video for the song “Soil” taken from the band’s recent split EP ‘Wood & Wire’, released on beautiful transparent purple 12” vinyl by Shaman Recordings.

The video was filmed in the spring of 2013 at various locations, but primarily in and around Shaken Oak Farm where the band recorded their half of the split with acoustic alter-egos COMA WALL. Directed and edited by M. Arthur Wickson (who also produced the band’s previous music video for “Milk”), the “Soil” video attempts to capture more of the band’s live energy – apt for a song that has recently become a staple of their live set. Check out the premier over on The Sleeping Shaman at http://www.thesleepingshaman.com/news/undersmile-premier-new-video-for-the-track-soil/.


The limited 12” is available to purchase direct from Shaman Recordings at http://www.shamanrecordings.com/releases/coma-wall-undersmile-wood-wire/.
