Kuinka is happy to announce that the video for "Mistakenly Brave" from their Stay Up Late EP has premiered at PopMatters. A winter U.S. tour (including a stop at a certain Tiny Desk in Washington, D.C.) in support of the release begins January 17th at The Dip in Redding, CA.
Gin up some courage and get mistakenly brave right here:
Nathan Hamer explains that "the music video for Mistakenly Brave was first born when we stumbled upon some old ornamental French horns in a thrift shop and thought, "wouldn't it be hilarious if we made a music video where we performed with old renaissance instruments instead of our own?" The idea sort of snowballed out of control from there and got increasingly ridiculous. And with today's political climate, the idea of playing music for a self-obsessed tyrannical king also seemed fitting."
"A fascinating, jubilant record, providing an electronic jolt into modern Americana, while waltzing along the edges of dream-pop, synth-pop, and mid-aughts guitar-rock. It's one uplifting mother, packed with creative fits and bursts." - Vanyaland on Stay Up Late
