Premiere: Houndstooth – ‘Borderlands’

Portland group return...

Portland, Oregen is one of the United States true creative hotspots, with the city boasting a huge musical community.

Houndstooth call the city home, and use this fertile atmosphere as a point of inspiration. Impressing with 2013's 'Ride Out The Dark', follow up LP 'No News From Home' arrived earlier this year via No Quarter.

Clash is able to premiere the video for 'Borderlands'. One of the record's most straight forward moments, the lilting indie pop is reminiscent of early Camera Obscura, the Shop Assistants or even The Proper Ornaments.

A gorgeous piece of chiming guitar pop, the accompanying visuals are bizarre, colourful and – above all – fun.

3 London The Victoria (with Juan Wauters)
