The Hard Quartet, a new US indie-rock supergroup featuring Stephen Malkmus (Pavement), Emmett Kelly (The Cairo Gang, The Double), Matt Sweeney (Zwan, Chavez) and Jim White (The Dirty Three), have shared the video for their debut single Earth Eater, and announced their first live dates.
The band claim to have "levelled, cultivated, and made lush an entirely new steppe in the ecosystem of guitar-bass-drums-voice agriculture". Which is nice.
Talking to GQ, Matt Sweeney describes the entertainingly surreal claymation video for Earth Eater as a “fully bent public service announcement.”
