Distractions"
With their new
EP, Water out now, Blood Red Shoes share the
video for explosive new track "Red River". The video contains live and
on-the-road footage of the band's recent tour in Russia, which saw the pair
encounter the full force of the Russian Customs officers, travel through the
snow after shows, and spark mosh pits in Moscow and St Petersburg.
The band have said of the trip, "The video is a montage of
footage from our recent trip to Russia. It was our first time over and was kind
of insane, for many reasons. From the minute we landed and had a 4 hour fight
with customs to get our gear into the country, to the last night when we made a
4am pilgrimage to Red Square, it was one hell of an experience. A crazy and
beautiful country with crazy and beautiful people, one of the most full on
crowds we've ever had on our first trip to a country."
The EP features three brand new songs, which were recorded in Dallas TX this October by John Congleton
(The Roots/The Walkmen/Explosions In The Sky) after a
US tour took them to both coasts.
Meanwhile, Blood Red Shoes first two albums, 2008's Box of Secrets &
2010's Fire Like This will also be
available in the US on January 21st. Box of Secrets features their break out hit "It's Getting Boring By
The Sea" which was included on the official soundtrack for feature film Scott Pilgrim vs. The World in 2010. Fire Like This garnered favourable reviews
from the likes of the BBC, Pitchfork, Artrocker &
the NME.
