Calgary quartet Viet Cong released their self-titled debut album on Flemish Eye & Jagjaguwar early this year and we can’t get enough of it. Comprised of a couple members from the now defunct band Women, Viet Cong have fast become a beast of their own and are shortlisted this year for the Polaris Prize. In conjunction with the kick-off of their North American tour (dates below featuring Greys, Mexican Slang & Weaves), the Viet Cong has released a video for their vivid track “Bunker Buster”. Directed by Yoonha Park, the video is a gorgeous yet unsettling sci-fi trip. Check it out below.
