Watch Wax Chattels Video for “It”

In support of their debut, self-titled LP – co-release on Captured Tracks and Flying Nun Records – Auckland, New Zealand’s Wax Chattels have confirmed a U.S tour that kicks off June 30 at Brooklyn, NY’s Rough Trade. The tour takes them to, among other markets, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle and Oakland. All dates listed below.

Today, Wax Chattels share a video for their single “It,” directed by Kent Belcher. A live performance video, it is the perfect sneak peak at why so many label their live sets “not-to-be-missed.” It was after a particularly insane show that the band was signed by both Captured Tracks and Flying Nun Records on the spot.

“We want to play shows that make people feel uncomfortable. The goal is to leave the audience feeling slightly altered, like they have experienced, not just heard or seen something,” the band says.

Brooklyn Vegan premiered the video saying, “There is an undeniable pummeling rock vibe” to the band’s album. Watch “It” below:
