On October 11, Gold Dime will release My House via Fire Talk Records. Today the band shared the official video for 'Hindsight II' the first single to be lifted from the forthcoming release. The video which was directed by Joe Wakeman premiered at Brooklyn Vegan and can also be shared at YouTube. The video was shot at the legendary performance art space The Kitchen in New York City, where Ambro, Wakeman and bandmate Ian Douglas-Moore all sometimes work. About the video Gold Dime's Andrya Ambro says, 'Sometimes we better understand the past if we just talk to it. So this is just the rhetorical me talking to the past through Hindsight personified. Also I think I had The Velvet Underground's 'Hey Mr. Rain' rattling around in my head when this all went down. There is a 'Hindsight' first edition on Gold Dime's debut album Nerves. It's basically the haiku version of 'Hindsight II,' only on piano and much more austere.' 'Hindsight II' is also available today on all digital streaming services to add to your favorite end of summer playlists.
