With a new album, 1000 Palms, on the horizon, itâs time for a new video from Surfer Blood. Below, The A.V. Club is premiering the clip for âI Canât Explain,â a color-splashed and slightly wiggly romp with a cast of what appears to be hundreds. As the groupâs John Paul Pitts told us, the clipâwhich is about the events of a New Yearâs Eve party, but sped upâonly came together with the help of the bandâs family and friends, a lot of who just âwanted an opportunity to throw cake at each other in their favorite bar.â Pitts also notes he âhad to shower and mop the floor three times after,â which sounds about right.
Surfer Blood hits the road this summer, with a full rundown of the groupâs 30-odd date tour below. Fans in the New York area specifically should check out the groupâs special Bowery Ballroom show on May 12, which is a benefit for the groupâs guitarist, Thomas Fekete, who is currently undergoing treatment for cancer. Guests on that show include Cults, Pop Etc., We Are Scientists, Julianna Barwick, Marnie Stern, and more.
1000 Palms is available to pre-order now via iTunes.
