In advance of hitting the road with Porches and Your Friend, Alex G (aka Alex Giannascoli) has shared a video for “Mud,” a guitar-driven ballad off Beach Music. Freewheeling and quick-cutting, the video captures scenes of the Philly musician clowning around with friends in a rain-soaked forest interspersed with street shots and close-ups of an adorable puppy. You can watch it below.

The video for “Mud” is co-directed by Giannascoli and Colin Acchione, whose brother Sam is a member of Giannascoli’s band. Colin also directed the video for Alex G’s 2014 single “Harvey.”

Out now via Domino, Beach Music is Giannascoli’s seventh full-length. The singer-songwriter, who has self-released most of his other material, wrote and recorded the eclectic album in his apartment during breaks while touring between Fall 2014 and Spring 2015. “Mud” is the fourth single off the record to receive a video, with others being the animated “Brite Boy,” the Micah Van Hove-directed “Bug,” and the quizzical “Kicker.”

Alex G’s tour with Domino label mates Porches and Your Friend kicks off March 9 in Washington DC. All three bands are out plugging new albums: Porches dropped Pool back in February, and Your Friend’s debut Gumption was released at the end of January. The tour finds the bands hitting SXSW and the West Coast before ending up in New York for shows at Music Hall of Williamsburg on April 13, and Bowery Ballroom on April 15. The Bowery show is sold out, but tickets are still available for Music Hall. You can find all dates below.
