Aug 01, 2016 By Christopher Roberts Minor Victories

Minor Victories is a supergroup featuring Slowdive’s Rachel Goswell, Mogwai’s Stuart Braithwaite, Editors’ Justin Lockey, and Hand Held Cine Club’s James Lockey. The band’s self-titled debut album came out back in June via Fat Possum in the U.S. (and [PIAS] in the rest of the world). Now they have shared a video for “Cogs,” which is a slow motion black & white affair in line with their previous “A Hundred Ropes” video. Watch below, followed by the band’s upcoming tour dates.
