Finn Riggins on tour in support of new album

Finn Riggins' new album, Vs. Wilderness, hits stores today, via Tender Loving Empire. To celebrate, the band has released the video for "Wake" which was made by Jason Sievers. His lovely stop motion animation videos and have been featured on Pitchfork and MTVand he's worked for bands like Built to Spill, The Universal and The Wrensto name a few.

The video perfectly captures the energy and hope for the future that Finn Riggins talks about in "Wake." Lyrics about hardships and the daily grind end in a euphoric, layered refrain of "Keep this town alive..." Jason Sievers' video enhances this powerful theme.

Finn Riggins is also on the road, and is about to play some dates with Built to Spill
