New York post-rocking duo The American Dollar released their latest album 'Atlas' on January 1st and to celebrate, they've kindly shared this rather wonderful video and song with us.

Second Sight is the name of the track and though it's short in duration, it's tightly packed with some of the most intriguing, subtle and impressive musicality from a duo we've heard in some time. 

The matching visuals are simplistic in nature, beginning with serene shots of trees and fields and then juxtaposing that with late-night city surroundings, power-stations standing tall, light pollution blocking out the stars. Before you know it, a swarming cloud of black fills the air, dancing around every shot and hammering home the overall message. It was directed by Yan Goldshmidt. 

It's a brilliant introduction to the band's sound and starts the year off with a nice healthy bang. Check it out below and let us know what you think.
