Coheed & Cambria You Got Spirit, Kid from The Color Before The Sun
Coheed and Cambria head back to high school in their You Got Spirit, Kid video. The clip, a homage to ‘80s teen movies, is for the new track from the upcoming album The Color Before The Sun due out Friday 16th October.
“Our video for ‘You Got Spirit, Kid’ gave us a chance to showcase a relaxed side of the band’s personality,” said Coheed and Cambria front man Claudio Sanchez. “With our love for ‘80s nostalgia, we decided to approach the treatment in a John Hughes or Steven Spielberg type fashion, allowing the spirit of youth and camaraderie to shine in each frame.”
The clip, which was directed by DJay Brawner (Refused, Grouplove), follows the band as they take down a group of school bullies through a series of pranks.
Digital pre-orders for The Color Before The Sun, which includes an instant download of You Got Spirit, Kid, are available now, from iTunes.
A limited edition, deluxe box set featuring two hardcover books, four different pieces of music housed in a die-cut slipcase and a bevy of exclusive content is available while supplies last at Coheed and Cambria.
While the most conceptually abstruse Coheed records have always had a foundation in reality, The Color Before The Sun marks the first time Claudio Sanchez is exposing his raw feelings, narrated from his own perspective – the anxiety of fatherhood, the disorienting feeling of losing a home, the reflections had during early-morning walks. His own story is told through big, bright, driving, colorful songs that beam like power-pop, crunch like vintage ‘90s emocore and float with the expansive feel of space-rock.
