Check out the new Houdini-inspired video from Fanfarlo for their latest single “The Walls are Coming Down”, one of my favourite Fanfarlo songs at the moment. The video features a classic Houdini trick: the upside-down straight jacket escape. It’s performed by one of the very few active escapologists in Europe. The video was directed by Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard, who apart from producing visual art have also recently directed videos for Nick Cave. In September, Fanfarlo will go on their first tour to the US, and then right after that, they will tour the UK together with First Aid Kit. Check their website for details: http://www.fanfarlo.com
