Of Montreal share ‘Bassem Sabry’ video

Of Montreal released thirteenth album ‘Aureate Gloom’ last week, and now they’ve shared a video for opening number, ‘Bassem Sabry’.

The song was the first track from the record to surface all the way back in December of last year, and is named after the Egyptian civil rights campaigner and journalist who died back in Spring 2014.

The video is, obviously, a bit weird, but at this point it’d be stranger for anything Of Montreal to be straight-down-the-line, wouldn’t it?

Of Montreal return to the UK for a brief tour in April.
