A video for new track ‘Pills’ has just emerged too. One of the album’s centrepieces, it’s captured here by directors Cooper Burton & Eli Kleinsmith who explore, seemingly, Esposito’s more than obvious wild streak. It’s a track that’s just as eager to accommodate those with a beer in one hand and a limitless fount of energy to burn. The upcoming UK dates are not to be missed. Check out the video above!
