Have you heard the news? Neil Michael Hagerty and his Howling Hex are just about to release an album called Denver. Helping spread awareness, Fred Armisen has put together a music video for the record's "Mountain" that takes a behind-the-scenes look at an Icelandic news team.
A press release explains that the Portlandia star recently went to Iceland, and spent some time at a local news station. The video, synced up to Howling Hex's riff-slinging whimsy, finds newscasters staring at cue cards while assorted crew members try to rig up some lights. Spicing up the humdrum, Armisen uses a series of quick cuts and vintage, block-y wipes.
You'll find the video below, while Howling Hex's Denver drops this Friday (April 15) via Drag City.
