Cambridge, MA (Top40 Charts/ IMDb PR) - Band of Horses and IMDb.com, Inc. (www.imdb.com), the authoritative source of information on movies, TV and celebrities, announced that beginning today the band's surreal biker flick homage 'Dilly' will have its world premiere exclusively on IMDb. The unprecedented collaboration is IMDb's first-ever foray into music video premieres. To watch and learn more about Band of Horses' 'Dilly' video, visit www.imdb.com/bandofhorses.
'This is the first of our videos to truly capture the essence of what a day in our personal lives is actually like,' said Band of Horses singer Ben Bridwell.
'We couldn't be more proud or more excited to be taking our first step into the realm of music videos with Band of Horses,' said Col Needham, founder and CEO of IMDb. 'We believe IMDb can serve as a powerful new platform for musicians to introduce compelling, exclusive content to our passionate community of more than 100 million entertainment enthusiasts.'
Directed by Philip Andelman, the uninhibited, borderline disturbing music video (runtime 3:30) is a companion to the 'Dilly' track off the band's self-financed 'Infinite Arms' album (released May 18, 2010 on Brown/Fat Possum/Columbia) that The New York Times refers to as 'anthemic and dynamic.' Shot entirely on location in the Mojave Desert, the video was inspired by '70s biker films and contains surprising, playful elements, including synchronized dancing and an eclectic cast comprised of actors and bikers. The 'Dilly' video reflects the spirit of creativity and freedom that pervades the 'Infinite Arms' album, which was written, recorded and inspired by different locales across America, including the Mojave Desert.
To celebrate this unique video release strategy, the band is making their 'Infinite Arms' album available to listen to - in full and for free - via www.imdb.com/bandofhorses. Visitors to IMDb can also purchase the 'Infinite Arms' CD at a discounted price of $9.99.
Band of Horses' 'Dilly' music video is available for the next 48 hours exclusively on IMDb.com, and IMDb's leading mobile app for iPhone and iPad. This is the first time IMDb has premiered original content via its popular mobile app for iPhone and iPad.
