Sep 25, 2018 By Christopher Roberts Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever

Melbourne, Australia five-piece Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever released their debut album, Hope Downs, back in June via Sub Pop. (It was our Album of the Week and you can also read our review of it.) Now they have shared a video for “Sister’s Jeans.” Riley Blakeway directed the video, which features the band traveling around in an old bus. Watch it below, followed by the band’s upcoming tour dates.

The band’s Fran Keaney had this to say about the song in a press release: “The first lines ‘stand on the morning / head like a weathervane’ came immediately - that was the clue. Then was the slow process of finding the other pieces to fit. The song is a platonic love song. It offers no answers. Just says, ‘Hi, I see you.’”

When the album was announced the band shared a video for a new song, “Talking Straight” (which was one of our Songs of the Week). Then they shared a lyric video for another song from the album, “An Air Conditioned Man” (which was also one of our Songs of the Week), as well as album closer “The Hammer” (also one of our Songs of the Week). The album also includes the previously shared single “Mainland.” After the album’s release they shared a black & white video for “Time In Common.”
