Mighty Brother have released a music video for “Summer Road” the second single from their upcoming double album, The Rabbit, The Owl, releasing on June 29.
The music video follows the band’s 2019 ‘Summer Road Tour’ across the country, and captures the ‘simple fortunes’ of the open road.
“Summer Road” is driven by a train beat, moving you along the open roads in the middle of the country. The guitars have a twang similar to the songs by Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, but the vocals are reminiscent of indie legends, Decemberists.

Having toured the globe on tours spanning from the United States to New Zealand, Mighty Brother performs as if they were actively conversing with the crowd, drawing listeners in for an engaging experience. This energy is translated into their music, proven through the new tracks of their most mature album yet – The Rabbit. The Owl.
