On June 15th, MOURN will share their 3rd LP on June 15th ‘Sorpresa Familia’ via Captured Tracks. Now, they share Fun At the Geysers, the 2nd single from the album, along with a video shot in Iceland where the story that inspired the song took place. They recently travelled back to Iceland to film the music video for the track, read about their trip and check out photos they took while shooting the video at Milk. Watch the video via YouTube below.
In an interview with Milk, MOURN explains the song and video: “The people from the label that came with us [to Reykjavik] were telling us that through the years we’d learn how to endure being hungry. They didn’t really care about us at that point. We arrived to the city, ate something and went to sleep right away. The next day we woke up and found ourselves alone in Reykjavík without money or food. The people from the record label had taken a taxi to visit the geysers without telling us. We found out because one of them posted a photo on Instagram. They payed for their excursion with the money the festival was paying us, as usual, counting it as “expenses.”
Along with the video and track, MOURN is announcing a return to North America during which they will perform songs from ‘Sorpresa Familia’; full dates below.
