CMU Approved
Approved: Fol Chen – In Ruins Video
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 23 June 2010
I’m sure we all thought many things when the Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland erupted and suddenly rendered international air travel a big pain in the arse. But one group of people, Californian band Fol Chen, were reminded of a line in their forthcoming (and yes, eagle-eyed readers, previously CMU Approved) new single, ‘In Ruins’, which invites the listener to “take a walk through ash and acid rain”.
The band quickly despatched video director Chris Wilcha and local musicians Gudfinnur Sveinsson (For A Minor Reflection) and Elìn Elisabet Einarsdóttir to the foot of the volcano to go and kick around in the dust. The results can be seen by clicking the link below. The single itself will be released on 6 Jul, and the album it’s taken from, ‘Part II: The New December’, is out now via Ashmatic Kitty.
