Watch: The Polyphonic Spree Share New Video For "Raise Your Head" (ft. The Umbilical Brothers)

The Polyphonic Spree have shared the video for "Raise Your Head", featuring Australian comic duo The Umbilical Brothers.

The song is part of our current playlist, and is taken from the band's recently released fourth studio album Yes, It's True, out via Good Records.

This is the fourth track from the album to get the video treatment, previously the band have already unveiled the clips for "You Don't Know Me", "Let Them Be" and most recently for "Popular By Design". 

The video was directed by Alex Gabbott, who explains: "I set out to make a fun music video, and was fortunate enough to have the right ingredients. The Polyphonic Spree, a 22-piece band dancing around on stage...are fun. The Umbilical Brothers, a duo of Australian physical comedians...are fun. A warehouse full of physical gags done (mostly) for real...is VERY fun. It was also VERY hard to make, but I know that the raw amount of fun we got on screen, made all the long nights picking up table tennis balls worth it. And table tennis balls...are also fun."

Watch: The Polyphonic Spree Share "Popular by Design" Music Video

The Polyphonic Spree have shared the video for their latest single "Popular by Design", off their recently released fourth studio album Yes, It's True, out via Good Records. The song is part of our current playlist. 

Previously the indie psych pop rock supergroup, already unveiled the clips for "You Don't Know Me" and "Let Them Be". 

The animated video, directed by Abandon Building, presents a sort of sci-fi origin story for the frontman of the candy-colored cloak-wearing choir, and depicts DeLaughter's transformation from a globulous conveyor-belt excretion into a happy-looking all-white clone before morphing into his more familiar form in an intergalactic classroom.

Watch: The Polyphonic Spree Premiere "Let Them Be" Music Video

Indie psych pop rock supergroup The Polyphonic Spree have shared the video for "Let Them Be", another cut from their recently released fourth studio album Yes, It's True, out via Good Records.

Just a few days ago, the band revealed the video for the album's first single "You Don't Know Me" and now their sharing the clip for "Let them Be". Both tracks are part of our current playlist.

About the song, band founder Tim DeLaughter says: "Let Them Be is a song I created from looking at images of Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea while working on some beats via Garage Band a few days before the recording session to finish the new album. I basically wrote the music and lyrics for it right there and saved most of it for the final recording, including the vocals."

The video was directed by Ben Rowe, who explains: "This is a narrative of conscious devolution. Our hero moves against the grain to return to origin rather than participate in civilized institutions. I would say that it's a video in defense of taking a day and staying in bed. Sometimes."
