Video: Swervedriver “Spiked Flower”

Swervedriver just released a brand-new video for ‘Spiked Flower’ off of their forthcoming record Future Ruins, out January 25.

“ When recording Spiked Flower, everything went very Television for a moment…” explained guitarist and vocalist Adam Franklin. “We were in downtown L.A., and Television came and played next door to the hotel we were staying at. On the Sunday, as I walked to pick up my laundry, I saw Tom Verlaine climb into a car on a side street, and then Jimmy had this riff, and I started singing, “Why don’t you talk to me?” to it, and it made me think of Marquee Moon. It didn’t sound like them in the end, though.”
