Portland band Balto has just unleashed the video for "Born Astray" via Relix, accompanied by a bonus karaoke video. The official video features the band, alongside some rather glamorous backing singers, playing a tiny dive bar, joined by some bar regulars taking on the song in karaoke fashion. Luckily, karaoke is an all-inclusive activity, and all viewers can practice their best "Born Astray" with the accompanying karaoke lyric video, also available via Relix.
Explains frontman Daniel Sheron of the filming process, ""We were trying to create a world for the song to live in - somewhere grotesque and lurid and a little decadent even as it decays - call it Reno, NV c. 1973-76. 'Born Astray' can be a heavy song, and while we wanted the video to express that weight, we also wanted to be able to laugh at its own navel gazing. So we went down to one of our favorite bars in town, the Spare Room, and while they stayed open, we drank all day and made this movie, with cameos from some of our best friends." "Born Astray" is currently living on two Spotify Germany Official Playlists - Feelgood Indie and Indie Radar, and one in Spotify Australia "Chill Roots" - CA LUV is on a Spotify Netherlands Playlist called "Beautiful Day."Videos
