Self-described "high end punks" Single Mothers released their long-awaited debut LP Negative Qualities earlier this week (via Dine Alone), and now they've unveiled a video for album cut "Half-Lit."
The clip sees the London, ON gang performing in shadowy black and white, interspersed with footage of gruesome stitches, as well as slightly more tender moments between couples.
In addition to the new record and video, Single Mothers will be hitting the road in support of the new material, trekking across North America this fall. Kicking things off with an album release show on October 10 in Toronto, they'll return to their home province to serve as openers for the Hold Steady's December residency at the Horseshoe Tavern, which promises to be a party of epic proportions.
Take a look at the full list of upcoming gigs below and scroll past them to watch the brand new video for "Half-Lit."
