Watch: MINKS Unveil New video For "Margot"

Boston indie-pop outfit MINKS have unveiled the video for "Margot", taken from their just released sophomore album 'Tides End', out via Captured Tracks.

The song is part of our current playlist www.koolrockradio.com.

Filmed by singer Sonny Kilfoyle, and directed by his wife, Danielle Harrington, the couple took to the road, driving and biking around Long Island. 

The track was inspired by an old portrait Sonny purchased, and the video seems to be a re-imagining of what this girls life might have been like. Watch it below

MINKS' new album 'Tides End' is out today. Get it from iTunes.

Minks Unveil Two New Tracks "Everything Is Fine" and "Painted Indian"

Minks have released two new songs "Everything Is Fine" and "Painted Indian", taken from their upcoming sophomore album 'Tides End', out on 5th August via Captured Tracks.

'Tides End', the follow-up to their 2011's By The Hedges, was written after the band's frontman and songwriter Sonny Kilfoyle moved out of New York to Long Island after a bout of writer's block, and is named after an estate by the beach that Sonny came across during writing sessions.

When Kilfoyle came back to the city, he teamed up with recent Berlin transplant Mark Verbos at the producer/engineer's New York studio by the Brooklyn side of the Williamsburg Bridge.

"It was actually a very uninspiring and uncreative but it forced us to use our imagination and find new ways to work together," Kilfoyle said of the setting.

"Everything Is Fine" is part of our current playlist www.koolrockradio.com.

Stream "Everything Is Fine" and "Painted Indian" below.
