Elsinore
“Wooden Houses”
Elsinore, orchestral pop wizards that they are, have released a new animated video for “Wooden Houses,” a track off their new album Yes Yes Yes (released on Parasol Records). The video was made in collaboration with videographer Zimos Ferguson, whose name is so sweet that you have got to check out the video. Song’s sweet too. So are their sweaters.
Elsinore are currently on tour of the Midwest — check the dates here.
