In the midst of their spring road trek, during which they'll be opening for Swervedriver as well as playing some headlining dates, San Franciso's Film School are releasing a new video, for "Compare," from their 2007 album, Hideout -- and you're looking at that video's world premiere. Just as the Cure/New Order post-punk side of Film School's sound has been recently overtaken by more of a My Bloody Valentine-flavored, neo-shoegaze tendency, so the video -- basically a performance clip juiced up with some eye-catching effects -- goes for a hazy, fog-enshrouded atmosphere whose black-and-white basics repeatedly explode into flashes of brilliant color.
