Saskatoon two-piece the Faps are gearing up to release their debut album Grimelda, but before the full record arrives, they've unveiled the music video for LP cut "John Denver."
The track features Megan Nash and Twin Voices, offsetting the band's brash, noisy guitar-and-drum sound with Nash's vocals and Twin Voices' violin accompaniment.
"We've always found ourselves connecting with real diverse artists — anything from punk or hip hop to painters and poets — so we wanted to showcase that with this video and our album," the Faps tell Exclaim! "Everyone has a bit of a weird side to them and it's a beautiful thing to see it shine through when we get together."
The matching visuals were shot and edited by Jason Hamill, unleashing a barrage of live shots and tour footage upon the viewer. Give it a watch down below.
The Faps will be heading out back on the road across Western Canada this spring, and you can see the upcoming dates below, as well.
