Earlier this month, Halifax psych-rockers Walrus were nominated for a Music Nova Scotia Award for Alternative Recording Of The Year, last week they begun their cross Canada tour dates with Billy Moon, and today and are sharing their video for “Feels”.

Recorded by Jeff Miller at The Bus Stop Theatre in Halifax, “we wanted to do our take on an old Grey Whistle Test style video,” says Walrus. The band recorded the video in the middle of a run of shows with Matt Mays, so when filming started they were all in “pretty rough condition the morning of. You’ll notice Justin’s live at the Shore Club t-shirt…”

Walrus spent much of the summer on tour with the likes of Besnard Lakes, Wintersleep, Evening Hymns, Alex Calder, Matt Mays, and Plants & Animals, stopping along the way at Osheaga, Supercrawl, and many more. Not a band that likes to rest for very long, Walrus are now headed west across Canada withBilly Moon. Full tour dates can be found below.

The band released their latest EP, Goodbye Something, on Dan Mangan’s Madic Records. The recording channels their inner psychedelia with songs that range from trance to surf. Exclaim! writes that “the band somehow mix gentle, Brian Wilson vocal melodies and orchestrations with out-of-the-blue punk thrash parts that keep listeners guessing. The high, winsome vocals and chiming 12-string Rickenbacker certainly conjured late '60s cloudy folk-pop, but the rest of the band infused the songs with sharp edges.” Their music will adhere to all levels of inebriation or consciousness. Walrus takes you swiftly into a dream you'll find yourself never wanting to wake up from.
