Kal Marks are sharing “Springtime In January” with a wild new animated video from their upcoming album Universal Care, due out February 23 via Exploding In Sound Records.

Speaking about the video’s concept, director Carly Lieberman said:
“I like making problems seem trivial by presenting larger less manageable problems. Carl (of Kal Marks) told me this song was about climate change, which is a clumsily managed problem created by humanity. So I started thinking about what would have to happen to make the self destruction of the entire earth seem like less of a problem. This video is about becoming so caught up in small scale problems, that we end up completely blindsided by the more damaging ones.”
Kal Marks will bring Universal Care to a town near you this Spring, with dates kicking off in March and a full U.S. tour to follow in April and May. All dates can be found below. In addition to their upcoming tour, the band are in desperate need of a new van and have launched an Indiegogo campaign to help fund their new ride. Nearly half way to their goal, the band are offering everything from records and shirts to personal guitar, bass, and drum lessons and the power to change their band name! It’s worth checking out just for their promo video alone.
