Capitol 6's previous video from the debut LP Pretty Lost took us into the recording studio. This time around, the psychedelic folk rockers are taking us to summer camp with a clip for the album opener "Playing Dead."

The Vancouver act shot the video in Squamish, BC. It shows the band members hanging out in the wilderness at a very rustic-looking camp. It doesn't seem like they're having much fun, since the weather looks distinctly chilly, and the tape-warped images give the proceedings an unsettling mood. The backwoods setting complements the song's heartland-rocking atmosphere and organ-drenched chorus hook.

Check out the clip below. Pretty Lost is out now through Light Organ Records.

In other Capitol 6 news, the band have a single coming out through the Kingfisher Bluez Single-Sided Singles Club. They plan to release a split-LP with Two Towns before the year is out.
