SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE have announced their new album, YOU’LL HAVE TO LOSE SOMETHING, due August 23 on Saddle Creek. Today they share a video for the album’s first single, “LET THE VIRGIN DRIVE.” View the Daniel Patrick Brennan-directed video below, along with the album’s tracklist and cover art, plus their tour dates.

Zach Schawrtz of SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE had this to say about the single’s theme: “It’s about unrequited love and making up a situation or whole life in your head. The other person finally ‘sees you’ and your ‘problems are solved,’ but they aren’t, really.”

Brennan had this to say about the video: “A video about trying to cure your loneliness through material means, courage, impulsivity, and chopping your finger off after cutting an avocado.”

Available exclusively from Saddle Creek, 500 copies of four vinyl variants will be available on the street date.
