Between a residency at the Satellite and releasing new videos and songs, May was certainly a busy month for the darling folks of He’s My Brother She’s My Sister. Among the many treats that the band cooked up is an animated music video for the song "Coattails." The video follows a mischievous, harmonica-playing monkey who sneaks into a He’s My Brother She’s My Sister show. While the monkey swipes people’s drinks and provokes some fights in the audience, it inevitably steals the show. All the monkey business is adorned by the song’s lively sing-a-long and twang. While the video is in black and white, the music and band members’ movements do not fall flat. On the contrary, the video is very delightful. If after watching the video, fans are left wanting more, the band is also offering its new song "Escape Tonight" as a free download on Bandcamp. While song is a bit more reflective than most He’s My Brother She’s My Sister material, the percussion and vocals are entrancing.
