Here's the new video to Muck's My City:

It's a link because the youtube search on blogger can't find the video, so I can't embed it.
Anyway, I've been waiting for something to surface for a while, and the new album, Your Joyous Future will be out in February. This new video's alright, but the song rocks.
The main riff is what the band calls in the video's Grapevine premiere a "krautrock/industrial thing". Followed by a riff that's best described as a probably unconscious nod to the song Coroner (the riff I'm talking about in particular kicks in at around 1:50) by now-disbanded fellow post-hardcore kids Celestine, except faster, punkier.
And that's what's great about Muck. They're not run of the mill or standard in any way. They like to deviate, and they combine all sorts of influences to do a thing totally their own. This song with it's infectious Groove (as the song's long been called on the band's setlists) exemplifies that. It's a great song that's been a staple of Muck's live performances for probably two years now, and bodes well for the upcoming album, one that I probably look most forward to this year.
