WORLD PREMIERE VIDEO - FOL CHEN

Highland Park, CA's mysterious pop outfit Fol Chen just unveiled the video for their latest single "The Holograms", a clever song of forgotten names and words which bounces along on one of their new album's catchiest melodies. The video was directed by Keith Musil (who directed Rainbow Arabia's "Omar K" and some of the craziest Skittles commercials you'll ever see). Conceptually, the video is based on a "Stepford Wives" wasteland scenario and stars Isabelle Albuquerque of Hecubaplaying most of the cast herself. 


The band just announced their residency at the Echo in LA for the month of August, stayed tuned for updates who the special guests will be. Fol Chen will also be on the East Coast for a handful dates with the rising glo-fi/future beatmaker Baths. For a taste of their awesomness live look no further than this KEXP session just recorded HERE.

WORLD PREMIERE VIDEO - FOL CHEN

Fol Chen sent director Chris Wilcha (This American Life Showtime series / The Target Shoots First) to Iceland to film amidst the volcanic dust from the erupting Eyjafjallajökull for their new music video, "In Ruins."

Two Icelandic youth wander through what looks like an apocalyptic wasteland, which is really just an abandoned area of Iceland as a result of Eyjafjallajökull. The area where the video was shot is normally lush and green. The boy and girl have to wear masks just to breathe and see amidst the dust.
