Off the back of last month’s self-titled debut, My New Band Believe, the project of Black Midi’s Cameron Picton, have added a string of October UK tour dates and shared a video for “In the Blink of an Eye.” Directed by Dos Monos member Botsu_NGS and starring the fisher Hiroki Kaniya, the video is described in a press release as a “Japanese seafaring odyssey”: In it, Kaniya goes about his daily routine on a boat in Ishikawa prefecture. Watch it go down (not literally) below, and scroll down for all the latest tour dates, including a few in upgraded venues.
