Ünnecessary Ümlaut

What a great way to preview a new LP—following a little wolf from the forest wonderland into town. Beats starin’ down a static album cover any day (unless it’s Ween‘s Chocolate & Cheese, of course).

This dreamy trip perfectly captures the vibe of the album, too. Not as wintery as the White on White EP. More, as the title aptly suggests, springlike. But under warm melodies and bright twinkling, shimmering tones that break through, there’s still a lonesome chill in the air. Suggesting we’re not out of the winter woods just yet. But it’s warming up. Slowly.

The footage was shot by the band in their hometown of Malmö. The wolf is Ylva. And Flora is out April 12th. You can snag a digital copy now on iTunes.
