Cold Showers have unveiled their new single and video 'Shine' today. Director Travis Waddell  describes, ''Shine's' textures are a reverent nod to MTV-era music video etherea. The 16mm footage shot between Bolinas and Point Reyes backdrops Nicola Collie's movements, a performance so immersive she nearly threw her neck out.' FLOOD debuted the video who call it, 'brighter...sounds more derivative of Spiritualized than any new wave influence they've ever toted.' Read more here.
