Canadian art punk band Motherhood has delivered another taste of their forthcoming studio album Thunder Perfect Mind today.

The new single "Grow High / Grow Higher" comes with a music video directed by Jordan Anthony Greer, which can be seen below. The band said this about working on the visual:

“We shot the video on the day of the total solar eclipse in Fredericton - the whole city was abuzz with tourists and astronomers, everyone hoping to witness something really special together. We wanted to capture the excitement of the day, so we gathered some close friends in Adam and his wife Anna’s backyard, and had a little viewing party with friends, babies and dogs. Beforehand, we went downtown to EclipseFest, a mini-festival that the city presented for the community. We talked to folks on the streets and conducted some ‘research’ for Thunder Perfect Mind Inc. it was a silly and lighthearted day.

The filmmaker Jordan Greer had a great vision for how to capture the joy and wonder of the total eclipse, and he really brought it all to life! Jordan filmed our natural response at the moment when the eclipse happened, which was total shock and awe. It was a day we’ll never forget, and we’re so happy to have a video that immortalized it! Our friends and family are a huge part of what makes Motherhood so important to us, so it was fun to have them involved in the video. The video content really matches the lyrical content for Grow High, which in the narrative of Thunder Perfect Mind, is essentially a praise-and-worship song for a Dark Expanding Cloud that has eclipsed the entire sky.”

Thunder Perfect Mind will be released on January 24 via Forward Music Group. Pre-orders for the release can be made here.
