Ohmme have announced a UK and European tour in February.
The Chicago-based duo of Sima Cunningham and Macie Stewart have lined up shows in Leeds, Glasgow, Birmingham, London, Bristol and Brighton behind their debut full length, 'Parts', which is out now on Joyful Noise Recordings.
They've also unveiled the video for Water, directed by Anahid Yahjian, who said:
"The video for Water is a collage of unused footage from my own archives - including an old shoot with a college-aged Sima in Yerevan's iconic Kond pedestrian tunnel. She and I first met in the creative scene there, and it will always be the strongest link between us; there just had to be a way to work that footage in.
"Everything was shot in places - Armenia, Lebanon and California's Imperial Valley - that are seeped in urban decay caused by political, military and economic violence. Riffing off the track's lyrics, I pieced it all together to construct an abstract post-apocalyptic world where a handful of humans live underground, while animals reign supreme in the wild, ruined landscape above them. The editing process really brought all the seemingly disparate footage together; images shift and distort as the song expands and contracts. I wanted to make it as immersive and hypnotic as possible."
