In the press sheet, there is a quote that draws comparison between John Maus and Arial Pink. While understandable (both hover in the space of hazy nostalgia), this downplays how unique Maus, and in particular single “Believer,” really is. The video fits the mood of the song perfectly, using vintage video equipment to record completely in analog.
Check out the video, download the MP3, view tour dates with Puro Instinct all below. And check out the album, We Must Become Pitiless Censors Of Ourselves, on June 28th on Ribbon Music.
