The Hives have unveiled a stop-motion animation video for “Roll Out The Red Carpet,” directed by artist Cissi Efraimsson, and it is the latest dispatch from their long-awaited album ‘The Hives Forever Forever The Hives,’ released last August on Play It Again Sam Records. Crafted in Sweden with producers Pelle Gunnerfeldt and Mike D of Beastie Boys, the record arrived to rapturous reviews and has already spawned standout tracks “Enough Is Enough,” “Paint A Picture,” “Legalize Living” and the title track. “Roll Out The Red Carpet” adds another anthem to that run, and Efraimsson’s visual treatment gives it a life all its own.
Fresh off a run of packed European dates, The Hives head to the United States this month for a string of headline shows with support from The Chats. Two Nashville and Toronto dates are already sold out.
