One of our favorite releases of last year was Royal Thunder’s debut full length, CVI. It’s taken them a while, but the band have finally unleashed a video for one of the centerpieces of the album, the sprawling “Blue,” which is available on Pitchfork.

The video is hazy, psychedelic, mystical and retro, which is also an apt description of the band. You should have already listened to this album by now, but if you haven’t and like what you hear, you’ll be able to catch the band on tour with Enslaved, Pallbearer, and Ancient VVisdom. Check out the video and tour dates after the jump.
