The Orwells - Black Francis Video

The Orwells new single pays homage to one of their biggest influences, Pixies frontman Black Francis. Even if you take the title of the track away, the ode is unmistakably Black Francis-esque. The Chicago based five-piece release their third studio album 'Terrible Human Beings' in February through Atlantic Records.

The band have a huge US tour planned over the next six months and they will also pay a (much shorter) visit to the UK to play a series of dates over there too.
