Make Do And Mend premiere animated video for “Transparent Seas”

New England post-hardcore quartet Make Do And Mend is excited to unveil the video for the single “Transparent Seas” exclusively at the band’s YouTube page. The animated video can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_R3-xxSD5gM.

The second video from the band’s highly touted full-length debut End Measured Mile (Paper + Plastick, 2010), vocalist/guitarist James Carroll says, “We already did a live action video for the record, and it came time to do another. We decided we wanted to do something that not a lot of our contemporaries have done, so we took the leap and trusted a friend with the project.” The result is the computer animated video created by motion graphics designer Matt Frodsham. Carroll explains, “The song itself is about the inability to believe in a higher power, but being frustrated by the fact that that type of belief affords the believer a great deal of comfort and safety. I think that the vibe of the video fits those feelings very well.” While the new video is for the album version of “Transparent Seas,” an alternate, acoustic version of the song will appear on the band’s recently announced Part And Parcel EP, out November 22nd on Paper + Plastick. Set for release on vinyl and digitally, the EP is available for pre-order now and includes exclusive bundle packages and varying vinyl colors and elaborate packaging. The Paper + Plastick webstore (http://store.paperandplastick.com) includes both black and dark mustard-colored wax, as well as an intricate package that includes moving clock pieces, while the band’s merch webstore (http://www.allinmerch.com/category/MDAM.html) contains an exclusive clear honey color record, and offers a preorder bundle of the vinyl, a t-shirt and a poster.

Make Do And Mend’s previous video for the single “Oak Square” won mtvU’s competition The Freshman, earning the band heavy rotation on the channel. Heading out on tour this year with both Senses Fail and Thursday in support of the new EP, Alternative Press named Make Do And Mend one of their 100 Bands You Need To Know in 2011. After raking in fervent reviews of the end-of-year list topper End Measured Mile, Make Do And Mend have spent this year supporting bands such as Hot Water Music, The Wonder Years, Polar Bear Club, and appearing at SXSW, Krazyfest, and Rainfest.

Make Do And Mend is James Carroll (vocals/guitar), Mike Poulin (bass), Matt Carroll (drums), and Mike O’Toole (guitar).
