Lithics Release ‘Specs’ Video From Forthcoming Album

On a grey winter morning Lithics used a handheld video camera to shoot scenes of themselves pretending to play music, walking around a reservoir, blowing their noses etc, and synced it to the song, Specs. The single is a song loosely about the presumptuous desire to know the details about a stranger’s personal life, it’s the second single taken from their new record Mating Surfaces that is due out on May 25th on Kill Rock Stars.

Mating Surfaces can be pre-ordered here
