As if anything was needed to heighten the psychedelic, acid-trippy qualities of their music, Fever the Ghost has dropped a wonky, hallucinatory and slightly NSFW video directed by Jesus Rivera (aka Demonbabies). The song itself is titled “Calico” and is a taste of the quartet’s “Crab in Honey” EP, which came out in January in the U.S. and will get a Sept. 29 release in the U.K. now that the band has signed to Heavenly Recordings. Previously wowing us at BBLA’s “Dear Austin, Love, L.A.” SXSW 2014 showcase and making our Band to Watch list, it’s been a fruitful year for the foursome of Casper Indrizzo, Bobby Victor, Nicolas Overhauser and Mason Rothschild, and they’ll keep busy as they prepare for a tour with label-mates Temples and contribute to Wayne Coyne’s “Sgt. Pepper” tribute. A full-length is expected early next year. Here’s to the mighty fine combination of loud and originality.
