If you haven’t live this moment, you’ve witnessed it: Singing with the headphones on, consumed by the song, oblivious to your surroundings. The scenario makes for an interesting conceptual video for Fol Chen’s song “The Longer U Wait” (off 2009’s Asthmatic Kitty release, “Part I: John Shade, Your Fortune’s Made”). The piece, filmed in India by Chris Wilcha, makes you wonder about the protagonist, his truck, the lights and his robot friend, not to mention whom they might be waiting for. [Warning: Watch your volume settings at 2:39.] As for Fol Chen, the band has started work on a follow-up album, covered Pink Floyd and Prince for tribute albums and is going out on tour supporting Liars – not a big stretch since Fol Chen frontman Adam Goldman has done time as a touring guitarist for Liars.

||| Download: “In the Flesh” (Pink Floyd) and “The Beautiful Ones” (Prince)

||| Previously: Downloadable remixes, including “The Longer U Wait.”

||| Live: Fol Chen opens for Liars on April 10 at the El Rey Theatre.
