Dutch Uncles share "Big Balloon" video - Watch

Dutch Uncles present the new video for “Big Balloon,” the lead single from their eponymous new studio album (anticipated 17th February 2017 on Memphis Industries).

The track is currently on the A List at BBC Radio 6 Music, and now comes with distinctive Nick Middleton-directed visuals which were shot recently at Buxton Raceway, watch BELOW:

Taking musical inspiration from Kate Bush’s The Red Shoes, Low-era David Bowie, some other slightly-less fashionable records belonging to their Dads and the eastern European techno discovered by Richards while working in Ukraine last year, the subjects tackled on Big Balloon include austerity cuts, therapy, fried chicken, paranoia and coming to terms with loneliness. It’s the fifth Dutch Uncles studio album and the follow-up to 2015’s acclaimed O Shudder.

Dutch Uncles recently announced a tour for 2017, bringing their unique art-pop manoeuvres to UK venues. The run culminates in two special nights at London’s Village Underground and Manchester’s Dancehouse Theatre (on 13th and 15th March, respectively).
