Cinematic psych-rock outfit Federale have just released a video for their current single, “Aim for the Heart.” The clip, which premiered on Big Takeover, features a kaleidoscopic, psychedelic romp through the reverb-soaked stomper. The video was directed by Black Angels member and visualist, Bob Mustachio. Collin Hegna of Federale had this to say about the video: “I’ve known Bob since the early-mid 2000s when he played drums with the Warlocks. The Warlocks and The Brian Jonestown Massacre (with whom I played with for 15 years) occupied the same dark-psych scene that existed in LA at the time. We’ve played several epic shows together over the years. When Bob left the Warlocks he moved to Texas and started doing visuals (both live projections and music videos) for The Black Angels. I’ve long been a fan of the Black Angel’s aesthetics. In fact, the single from Federale’s 2012 release “The Blood Flowed Like Wine” was sung by Black Angels vocalist Alex Maas. Bob and I have talked for years about collaborating on a Federale track together. When we completed “Aim For The Heart” I knew the moment had finally come. I felt his style really jived with the western-jangle-fuzz riffs and lyrics about settling scores that exist in “Aim For The Heart.” His video creates the sort of beautiful off-kilter marriage of music and visuals that reminds me of David Lynch. Just like the best trips, it skates ever so close to sliding off the rails.”

“Aim for the Heart” is the first single to be released off the band’s forthcoming fifth studio album, No Justice, which will see a vinyl, CD, and digital release via Jealous Butcher Records on November 8th. A full set of pre-orders have launched here and here.
