LEX HIVES AVAILABLE JUNE 5; JUNE TOUR DATES CONFIRMED IN U.S.
The Hives are pleased to reveal the new music video for "Go Right Ahead," premiering today on Stereogum. The video was filmed
live during the recording of the album, at RMV Studio on the island of
Skeppsholmen in Stockholm, Sweden. The footage offers a glimpse into
the gorgeous new studio owned by Benny Andersson from ABBA.
Please feel free to embed & share the video:
The Hives elaborate, "We recorded large chunks of LEX HIVES
at Rixmixningsverket. It is a new studio that Benny Andersson from ABBA
built in the heart of Stockholm, and he cut us a deal we just couldn't
refuse. We were the first band to record there. The video shows us
walking to the studio on the first day of the second week of
recordings. We basically set up a bunch of cameras in order to film
while we recorded the take to make this more realistic than most "rock
videos." The thing is, we needed extra mouths and hands since we
couldn't do it all ourselves at the same time. These were generously
supplied by people close and dear to us who can be seen in the film.
Even Randy Fitzsimmons can be seen through the studio window wearing a
mask. Randy on camera is a historical first. This moment is also a
historical first. We give you.. We tell you to... GO RIGHT AHEAD!"
Their highly-anticipated new album, Lex Hives, is due out June 5 via the band's own Disques Hives
label and comes in advance of a North American tour that kicks off June
19 in Washington, D.C. A more extensive U.S. headlining tour is in the
works for this Fall (details to come). Lex Hives is now available to pre-order on iTunes, including a Deluxe Edition that features bonus tracks produced and recorded by Josh Homme.
The
band recently made an explosive return to the live stage with a handful
of performances in the U.S., including a hugely successful performance
at Coachella, an intimate show at NYC's Webster Hall Studio, and a
performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live that saw the band playing two new
songs: "Go Right Ahead" and "Wait A Minute."
The Hives are Howlin' Pelle Almqvist, Nicholaus Arson, Chris Dangerous, Dr. Matt Destruction, and Vigilante Carlstroem.
