The Fratellis have just released their latest video for I’ve Been Blind, a track off the just-released record, In Your Own Sweet Time. I’ve Been Blind is the perfect brisk and energetic anthem for emerging into Spring after this long Winter. The video takes the form of a black and white silent film, following the tale of three tragically brilliant theoretical physicists/biologists who are working day-in and day-out to discover the world they’ve been blind to all along.
The band will embark on a headline North American tour in support of the album starting Tomorrow April 26th in Vancouver and including shows in Los Angeles (May 1 @ The Belasco), Chicago (May 11 @ Metro), and NYC (May 16 @ Brooklyn Steel). These shows are set to be riotous, featuring the expansive material of the new record and their boisterous trademark hits. (full list of dates below)
On In Your Own Sweet Time, The Fratellis have once again teamed up with six-time Grammy and Mercury-nominated American producer Tony Hoffer (Beck, The Kooks, M83, Belle & Sebastian), and struck indie gold, exploring new psychedelic territories while retaining their innate knack for massive choruses. The record marks a thrilling new phase in the bands career, identified by a daring new sound that is bigger, bolder, and yet still shot through with a whip-smart, pitch-black sense of humor that we have come to expect from the irrepressible Glaswegian trio.
