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/.
In other news, UNDERSMILE are also extremely pleased to announce that a limited edition CD of ‘Wood & Wire‘ is to be released in June/July on Future Noise Recordings, the label which also released last year’s ‘Narwhal‘. The CD will feature an exclusive bonus track in the form of COMA WALL’s take on UNDERSMILE’s “Big Wow,” as well as more artwork (the original concept sketches) from the talented Craig Bryant.
