New Music Video: Jamie Lidell “The Ring”

“Jamie Lidell and fellow musicians including Chilly Gonzales and Dan Rossen (Grizzly Bear) lift their hammers to make some Anvil blues, whose lyrics describe a bedraggled beachcomber as he is seen desperately searching for his lost gold. The video, shot by Lindsey Rome in double vision through the barrel of a dusty camera’s sights captures Jamie returning to the songs birthplace, the beaches of Western Australia, to shout it out from the sands.” (source: Warp Records)

The single will be available on 7″ and digitally May 4 in the US or May 10 elsewhere, and features a new unreleased B-side. In addition Lidell is touring with an all-new band from the end of April, landing in London the week of the album’s release and playing right through into the summer.

The full album is available May 20, 2010 on Warp Records.
