New Video - Spiral Stairs - Stolen Pills

It's been a busy few weeks for Spiral Stairs. First, news broke of a Pavement reunion and Australian tour, his plans to migrate to Australian shores and his debut album The Real Feel came out just last week.Phew!

Now we have the first video from The Real Feel, Stolen Pills.

Fast paced and frantic, Stolen Pills gives some context behind the poor old OD'ed raccoon we see on the The Real Feel's album artwork.
Take a look!

Are you ready for The Real Feel from Spiral Stairs?

After a five-year absence, Pavement guitarist and Preston School Of Industry mainman SPIRAL STAIRS (Scott Kannberg) returns with The Real Feel, his bona fide solo debut.

It’s a heart-on-sleeve (but occasionally tongue-in-cheek) song cycle about his complicated personal life. This album is by far the most crafted and introspective of Spiral’s post-Pavement works.

The album was recorded in Australia with a diverse crew of talented people including members of The Posies, Gersey, Ian Moore and others. The Real Feel was mixed by The Posies’ Jon Auer,

Spiral maintains his trademark melodic whoops and Flying Nun guitar licks, but overlays a layer of melancholy and wisdom, as well as a touch of Peter Green blues. Alert listeners will also spot Richard Thompson, Captain Beefheart and The Died Pretty.

Please note no raccoons were harmed during the making of the album artwork. Not by us, anyway.

The Real Feel is out October 16 through Matador/ Remote Control.
