Growing preview PUMPS with new self-directed videos

Growing, the experimental Brooklyn-based trio comprised of Joe DeNardo, Kevin Doria, and recently added member Sadie Laska (IUD), have debuted the first installment in a series of six video vignettes previewing select tracks from their forthcoming full-length PUMPS. Premiering yesterday at The Fader, the videos for "Hormone" and "Drone Burger" visualize the songs intensively processed over seven months during 2008 at Brooklyn's Ocropolis Studio. Both Joe DeNardo and Kevin Doria created 3 videos each, filled with footage recalling a halcyon period of sci-fi cinema in each track. For this bi-weekly pair of videos, DeNardo's "Drone Burger" touches on concepts of humanity encountering life in space ("Do they listen to Growing when they're cruising around other planets?"), while Kevin Doria's effort sends the endless sonic layers of "Hormone" over what he appropriately describes as "a model rocket incident, Hong Kong from the sky, and a lap around Paris on acid."

Stay tuned for further installments of video vignettes from PUMPS to be issued leading up to the release of the album on April 6th. Culminating with the debut of their full-length video for "Mind Eraser", all six vignettes will be included and available exclusively with the pre-order release at VICERecords.com.
