The Phoenix Foundation have revealed a new video for lead single 'Mountain' from the forthcoming album Give Up Your Dreams.

Directed by Sam Kristofski, the video centres around an ageing guru and his group of young followers. Speaking of the footage, bandmember Samuel Flynn-Scott said: "Somehow Samuel Kristofski made this mesmerising four minute music video from a mere 16 minutes of 35mm film. Not only does this creepy cultish dreamworld perfectly realise the Jodorowsky inspired spiritual freak out of Mountain it also encapsulates the pseudo-religious movement that is GUYD. Will you come to second level with us?"

Give Up Your Dreamsis out Friday August 7 via Memphis Industries. In the meantime you can check out 'Mountain' on YouTube.

Indie Rock New Zealanders The Phoenix Foundation, are making their return this Summer with sixth studio album Give Up Your Dreams.

The band will be channelling previous album Fandango’s beauteous side, but this time fuelled by a spit ball of irrepressible energy. With the new addition of drummer Chris O’Connor, the album was written taking its lead from the rhythm section for the very first time; paving the way for an all new creative process.

On the record’s infectious, rhythmic driven sound and optimistic feel, co-frontman Samuel Scott explains that “Give Up Your Dreams could sound like a defeat but it represents something quite defiant, joyous and celebratory”.

He continues “The mood when we were recording was so easy, so cordial. We spent a great deal of time messing with an old Eventide H3000. There would be very few sounds we didn’t try to mess with. We turned all the cool and interesting sounds up loud so nothing was competing in the mix and you can actually hear the trippy shit.”

The new LP will be out on Monday August 7 via Memphis Industries. You can check out their latest single 'Mountain' via Soundcloud now.
