Swedish heavy blues rock outfit Graveyard have released a new farm themed video to promote their single The Apple and the Tree which will be on their upcoming album Innocence & Decadence on September 18th.
The video shows the band hard at work on a farm (in a time that looks to be 100 years ago or so) digging, driving a tractor, chopping wood, and at the end of the day dancing around a fire having a good old time. You would think that such a video would work better for a country song, but surprisingly it emphasizes the lyrics of the song pretty well.
The song sounds heavily influenced by the Jimi Hendrix cover of All Along the Watch Tower, but not to the point where it is a straight ripoff. If you didn't know any better you really would think that this song was written by an American west coast band in the late 60's. It's great for getting your groove on. Plus, if you listen to the lyrics there is more going on than what initially meets the ear.
If this song has enticed you at all, Innocence & Decadence is currently available for pre-order. I'm pretty tempted to get the album myself when it comes out because Graveyard sounds like a pretty cool band. They have a few albums out already, so it would definitely be worth your while to go and check them out.
