The first two songs to surface from Band of Skulls showcase divergent facets of the band’s style–one more forceful and crunchy and one that leans on melody and nuance. Both “Asleep at the Wheel” and “Nightmares” will appear on the band’s forthcoming album Himalayan, which the group has announced will be released on April 1st via Electric Blues Recordings. The video for “Nightmares” focuses on an unraveling relationship between lovers and was directed by Greg Davenport. Additionally, the band will head out on tour in the coming months and will be bringing along up and coming band Sacco for the dates. Full list of tour dates follows the video embed. Watch “Nightmares” below.
