Ben Chasny of Six Organs of Admittance and Donovan Quinn of Skygreen Leopards form the duo New Bums, and the pair will release their debut LP Voices From A Rented Room on February 18th via Drag City. In anticipation of the upcoming record, the Bums have posted a video for their track “The Killers and Me” today, directed by Willem Jones. Full of noir antics, skulls, creepy face lickers, and plenty of things being lit, all presented in highly contrasted black and white, the video provides just the right amount of murder (or is it drinkin’) ballad blues?! Look for New Bums to head out on the road this coming March for a tour of the US. We’ve got your dates below.
