Black Mountain love rough and dirty rock and roll, and it’s never more apparent than on their newest single, “The Hair Song.”
A down-home slice of Rock, the song now has an accompanying video.
Featuring the members of Black Mountain (and their own spectacular hair) and a round of misplaced love, the video was shot in beautiful Ontario and features lush forest scenes contrasted with the concrete buildings of the city.
Watch it here.
End your week right. Sit back, grab some lunch, and play our favorite new videos of the past few days! This edition includes Foals, Abe Vigoda, Twin Shadow, Delorean and Salem. Enjoy! Watch the videos after the JUMP.

Freelance Whales are already having a great fall and it’s not even October.
The band’s music was featured in a promo for the redesign of a little program called Twitter. The video has been viewed over a million times already and features sightings of the Tweet bird in the wild and Freelance Whales’ “Generation 1st Floor.”
That would make for a pretty good month by itsel, but the band also released its new EP Weathervanes on Frenchkiss/Mom & Pop Records and released its first single (with video) in “Hannah.”
