Saintseneca Release Video For "Visions"
The band Saintseneca debuts a video for their song “Visions” today via Stereogum. The track is from the young band's recent digital EP which Time Out Chicago described as “anchored by soaring choruses that seem tailor-made for a good, old-fashioned shout-along” and Pitchfork.com wrote, “When the instruments fade out and Little howls, it’s more of a gut punch than an uppercut." The band's anticipated full length album Dark Arc will arrive in stores April 1st of 2014.
The video for “Visions” offers a stirring montage that plays like the nostalgic memories of a troubled soul, the imagery perfectly complimenting the songs dynamic mix of re-imagined folk and post punk.

Saintseneca is led by singer-songwriter and multi instrumentalist Zac Little who originally hails from rural Appalachia. Following in the footsteps of heartland bands who have sought to twist the music of the old weird America into new shapes – from the Violent Femmes to Neutral Milk Hotel – Saintseneca perform songs that sound both familiar and uniquely original. The group utilizes a wide range of acoustic instrumentation with more contemporary elements such as synthesizers and electric guitars to create a seamless blend of soaring vocals and vibrant post-punk energy.
