Prairie Cartel Make A Video, Like Yetis

The Prairie Carrtel are preparing for the "official" release of their debut full-length (which is already available here) and have released this video, directed by Peng Lei, for their song "No Light Escapes Here." The teaser's a weird mixture of political imagery overlaid by whimsy and the result is analogous to the group's sound; it's catchy and poppy but there's a definite aggression running under the surface.

Prairie Cartel play a proper release show for the album in a few weeks, but you can catch them tonight at Lincoln Hall with Neon Indian test-driving some of the newer material.

Neon Indian and The Prairie Cartel play tonight, October 27, at Lincoln Hall, 2424 N Lincoln, 9 p.m., $12, 18+
