Slinky surf-poppers Orca Team unveiled their debut album Restraint earlier this month, and hot on its heels comes the video for killer cut ‘Night Moves’. Stylish and ever so slightly bizarre, the clip depicts the Seattle trio leaping about in slo-mo and throwing up black ink – well, why the hell not? It’s also typically awesome, illustrating the band’s herky-jerky elegance at its toe-tapping best.
The album is available now via the ever-excellent Happy Happy Birthday To Me label, and you can catch their first ever UK dates in July which culminate in the Best Fit All-Dayer at London’s Shacklewell Arms.
