Wolf People announce their new single is to be 'Empty Vessels' out on June 17 through Jagjaguwar.
To coincide with the release they unveil the video, which can be viewed below.
Jack Sharp says of the track: "A storm is coming. Empty Vessels was written in fits and starts over a long wet summer under the spell of George Ewart Evans, an oral historian from Suffolk, whose books I was reading on trips to Dunwich, Blaxhall and Aldeburgh. The conditions of those trips were echoed when the song was recorded in Yorkshire, in the squally spring showers on the Dales."
The video was inspired by the artwork for the album (done by the band's guitarist Joe Hollick) which itself was inspired by a 1950s video for Poem Electronique by the composer Edgard Varese. Working again with director Phil Poole, the video takes imagery both from the band's artwork and their equipment and intersperses it with captured moments of the band performing.
In addition the band have also announced their first ever North American tour dates with Unknown Mortal Orchestra. The two week run will take them around the east coast, Canada and into the midwest.
