Columbia Records is proud to announce the release of Coheed and
Cambria's video for "Feathers," the second single off the band's new
album, "No World For Tomorrow," undoubtedly their catchiest tune to
date. MTV2 plans to "Unleash" the new video on February 4th, and will
air it 12 times that first day and immediately thereafter place it
directly into "Elite 8" rotation.
The Hitchcockian black and white video, is a dark comedy, directed by
Marc Klasfeld (Gnarls Barkley, Foo Fighters, Bloodhound Gang) and
focuses on a "perfect" 1950s American family who have a very naughty
secret. "Feathers" stars Rena Riffel, known for her roles in
"Mulholland Drive" and "Dante's Cove," as the cheerful stay-at-home mom
ala "Ozzie and Harriet," but this mom has more than a conniving grin.
Reminiscent of the works of David Lynch and John Waters, what appears
normal on the surface is not quite so when you take a closer look.
In anticipation of the new video, the band has launched a parody
website, www.meetthefeathers.com. The site offers fans a mock preview
of the plot and theme of the video. It also offers a teaser video and
subtle references to the video's secrets. The site will be updated with
new clips of the song and other hints leading up to the premier.
Coheed and Cambria are currently on tour in the UK in support of "No
World for Tomorrow," and will be joining Linkin Park on the road for a
nationwide tour that kicks off on February 12 in Ohmaha, NE.
The new album, which debuted at #6 on the Billboad Top 200, has
received great critical acclaim. "Blender" praised the new album and
said that Coheed "have found their sweet spot" while "Revolver" noted
that it "feels like the beginning of something new" for the band. The
"Los Angeles Times "intoned: "Self-indulgence is frequently seen as a
crime in modern rock music, but without it there would have been no Led
Zeppelin or "Sgt. Pepper," no Ziggy Stardust or System of a Down.
Overreaching sometimes pays off. And few young bands reach further than
the prog-metal act Coheed and Cambria, for whom the extremes of time
and space hardly seem to be enough." "Rolling Stone" said that "there
was plenty worthy of rewind" on "No World for Tomorrow."
