Cass McCombs Presents "Sleeping Volcanoes" Video

Cass McCombs’ ninth full-length album, Tip of the Sphere, was released just over a week ago to a range of praise.

Following the recently released “Absentee” video, McCombs returns to the album’s first single and the thematic centerpiece of the album, “Sleeping Volcanoes,” with a video where dancers destroy Tahiti Pehrson’s contemporary art piece, “The Rising Body.” It was shot in San Francisco Financial and Tenderloins districts and in the forests of Marin County. As previously described by McCombs, “Sleeping Volcanoes” is about “people passing each other on the sidewalk unaware of the emotional volatility they are brushing past, like a sleeping volcano that could erupt at any moment.” McCombs and band will embark on their international tour on March 4th (all dates are below).
