Festival favourites across the world and well known for their foot-tapping anthems fusing Celtic roots with rock and roll, they’re not necessarily known for a visual cutting edge.
But all of that’s about to change following the release of the new animated video for next month’s single Float – the title track from last year’s impressive album. UK production duo Kari and Saul have come up with a classic take on an evocative tune. And FM founder member Dave King is delighted with the zany results.
“When we first started considering a video for Float all the ideas with the band in it seemed very generic,” he said. “We had concepts with the band on a boat, then going to a bar. They seemed ridiculous.
“Then we decided to do something that we’ve never done before. This idea came about. We went along with it. It’s a piece of art in itself, you know. I mean, you could put it on before a movie in a theater, and it would go down really well I think.”
Float will be available from April 13 and don’t miss the Mollies at a festival near you this summer.
