Grivo Premieres New Video on REVOLVER

Austin-based shoegaze power trio Grivo premiered the new video for "HDC" from their debut album Elude on REVOLVER Magazine yesterday. This gorgeous new music video was made by visual artist drip//cuts, who used feedback and synthesizers to manipulated footage of the band (along with stills of brutalist architecture) into fractal patterns and neon colors. This combination is intense and stunning yet somehow beautifully maintains the minimalist, bleak timbre of Grivo. Their new album Elude has rapidly recruited fans and caught the attention of big media outlets, so watch for tour announcements and other exciting news soon. If you live in Austin, they're playing at Hotel Vegas this Friday, November 23rd for their Album Release Show featuring Virgin Pool and FIRES WERE SHOT.

Debut Album from Grivo is Out Today

OUT TODAY Austin-based power trio Grivo unleashes their ominously trudging sound with the debut full length Elude.

The high level of musicianship and songwriting shine through their rich tonal indulgence making Elude an unforgettable and distinguished debut.

-Brooklyn Vegan
