Here is the new video for the song “Late Mornings” taken from the remarkable and exotic debut album from Amor de Días, Street of the Love of Days.

Amor de Días – Late Mornings from Merge Records on Vimeo.

The video was premiered on Brooklyn DIY design blog, Design Sponge, along with an interview with Lupe Núñez-Fernández about her art, life and music

Their US label Merge is also streaming the album on their site for a limited time, so you can have a listen to the whole thing here: http://www.mergerecords.com/store/store_detail.php?catalog_id=792

Blending chamber pop with the bossa-nova of Gal Costa and Caetano Veloso and a hefty dose of psychedelic folk, the London-based duo, consisting of Alasdair MacLean of the Clientele and Lupe Núñez-Fernández of Pipas, have created a wonderfully, textured and varied record – with the help of friends such as Damon and Naomi, Gary Olsen (from The Ladybug Transistor), Louis Phillippe as well as luscious horns and strings. Receiving rapturous reviews Stateside with the release of their album on Merge Records (home of Arcade Fire and Superchunk), they release their album in the UK in June on their own Porcini Records.

After a long US tour with Damon and Naomi this month, Amor de Días will be back in the UK for shows including a support slot for Howe Gelb at the Union Chapel, a record launch show at the Lexington and an appearance at the Indietracks Festival.
