The Kills, AKA our favorite duo of Jamie Hince and Alison Mosshart, released their fifth full-length album, Ash and Ice earlier this summer. Today, the band shares their music video for “Impossible Tracks,” which was directed by Ellis Bahl.

Alison says about the video: “Introducing our new video for IMPOSSIBLE TRACKS! Shot by director Ellis Bahl, at Luna Park- the old weird and wonderful amusement park of dreams and nightmares so iconic to Melbourne Australia. We’d always wanted to shoot there, so on our last tour down under, we took this fine opportunity.

“Welcome to off season … winter time, blistering bitter cold, the park to ourselves all day and night. The lights buzzing, the gears cranking, a hallucinatory stream of whiplash and spin. We shot between bursts of monsoon weather and crooked wind, we rode the rides, played the games, and lost ourselves in the mirror house. Enter in, the guts of the park, through the mouth of lights, Luna’s pearly teeth, past the big bad gaze of those glowing blue eyes… Buckle your belts and take the ride on impossible tracks.”

The Kills‘ North American tour kicked off last week in Pomona, and to celebrate the band have released a collector’s edition 7-inch of stand-out single “Doing It To Death.” The one-track release features an etched b-side and is limited to 1000 copies worldwide. Grab one from the merch booth at all upcoming shows, or exclusively from the band’s webstore while supplies last.  More info HERE.
