Dutch psychedelic rockers, who also lean heavily on the blues and rock ‘n’ roll’s boogie-woogie, Birth of Joy, released their new video for rambunctious track “You Got Me Howling” yesterday. The song definitely has an indie rock, new wave vibe to it, but it’s also gritty and raw in a way that just gets the blood pumping. I dare you to listen to this and not feel like getting up to dance around like it’s 1983.
The Gutman and Tom Van Der Heiden-directed video features one of the most creative ways I’ve ever seen of incorporating a live performance with a narrative… and it has a grainy, off-color retro vibe to it. Have a watch in the player above.
“You Got Me Howling” can be found on Birth of Joy’s upcoming album, Get Well, which is scheduled for release on February 26th.
