The Acorn Unveil Video For New Single Cumin

The Acorn have unveiled a video for their new single, Cumin.

The track is the second to be taken from the new album, 'Vieux Loup', which is set for release June 1 on Paper Bag Records. Discussing the song, which you can check out below, Rolf Klausener said:

"Basting in a slow-burning tension, an old lover and I were distracting ourselves with what would result in, a pretty terrible curry. We were a quiet mess, so was the kitchen, with spices strewn across the counter. I held my powdery fingers up to my nose, and took a whiff. I turned to her and asked what she thought they smelled like. She said "cumin." I glared and asked what else. "Gawwwd, you're right," she said.

"It seemed a fitting title for a meditation on desire. It's all there in the lyrics. The song ended-up having this tampura-like drone. I founding myself Wiki'ing the spice trade, and ancient middle eastern shipping routes; I wanted the it to allude to richness, texture, aroma, etc. I don't know, there's something oddly pure and sensual about those huge, raw sacks of bold-coloured spices in a market bazaar, isn't there? Desire sometimes has a slightly dark connotation; the love-addicted, and so on. But I like the idea of desire as truth."
