(PR) HORSE the band debut their mind-melding new video for "Shapeshift" today on MySpace. "Shapeshift" was directed by Daniel Chesnut and is the first single from the bands upcoming full-length, Desperate Living (10/06, Vagrant). The song features Jaime Stewart of Xiu Xiu lending his sound design and production skills as well as backing vocals.
"Jamie is one of the only people out there experimenting with sound and actually getting non-traditional sounds to convey profound emotion. He is a true artist and as a huge admirer of his, I wanted to see what he would do with our music," said Erik Engstrom, HTB's keyboardist.
The Southern California-based group starts their headlining tour next week in Fort Worth, Texas, at The Door and will be on the road both here in the US and in Europe for the rest of 2009.
