Watch: Snapped Ankles Reveal "CIA Man (NSA Man Violation)" New Video

East London art wave/post punk/krautrock band Snapped Ankles have revealed the video for "NSA Man", their take on The Fugs 1965's counterculture anthem "CIA Man".

The song is part of our current playlist and is taken from their upcoming EP 'Violations', which will be released on April 21st for Record Store Day 2018.

About the song, the band said: "Having unearthed The Fugs' 'CIA Man' some years before, we were shocked to discover a newer, more sinister agency had taken over from the diatribe's protagonist, so we updated Tuli Kupferberg's list of ills... Of course every time the song is now mentioned online, a blip of data triggers a filter that enters a file that rings a bell in a bunker deep under a mountain in Pennsylvania. So now the forest is full of agents looking for us, and we are taping up our microphones and cameras and walking backwards through our own footprints to shake them off...". Get it here.

The video was directed by Diet Clinic. Watch it below.
