Album art

Rodrigo y Gabriela have premiered a music video for their new single "Descending To Nowhere", to celebrate the announcement of their new studio album, "In Between Thoughts...A New World", that is set to be released on April 21st.

The new video was directed by acclaimed Mexican filmmaker/broadcaster Olallo Rubio and the new album was produced by the duo at their studio in Ixtapa, Mexico.

Rubio shared, "The video is based on a specific chapter/segment of a storyline written by Rodrigo y Gabriela where a character has a spiritual journey towards non-dualism.

"So this video is just a small part of a larger story. They always imagined this world in animation, but we thought it'd be conceptually interesting to start in this dark, bleak, live action world and then enter the animated universe in color.

"I called artists Andy Butler (British) and Pogo (Mexican), with whom I worked before on a documentary about Alejandro Jodorowsky (the Chilean multi-disciplinary artist) because I knew they'd understand the spiritual/surreal concept we were developing."

The acclaimed duo will be promoting the new album with tours of North America, the UK and Europe. The North American headline tour will be kicking off on May 18th at Houston, TX's Smart Financial Centre. See the dates, and watch the new video, below:
