- Pitchfork
"An intriguing new direction for the young band"
- Stereogum
"Textured, energetic post punk"

On the heels of releasing their sophomore album Ullages in May, Eagulls are back today to share a hypnotic new video for album standout "Velvet". Its release comes in conjunction with the band launching its North American tour this week, starting on Thursday at Baby's All Right in Brooklyn.
Speaking about the video's concept, Eagulls' lead singer George Mitchell says, "I was a fan of John Mintons work that he'd created for Portishead and was lucky enough to get him to work with me on this video. We both share interests in old cinema and we saw Saul Bass and Fernand Leger as inspirations on the visual elements. John was able to adapt these inspirations into a modern take with a theme of love loss running throughout."
Check out the video above now and see below for all upcoming Eagulls tour dates and Ullagesdetails.
