Inspired by the Grayson Perry painting of the same name, the video for Erland & The Carnival’s ‘Map Of An Englishman’ is a haunting, partly animated and stop-frame-esque concoction of images that flicker with the beguiling beats and muted vocals. The first single to be taken from their sophomore album, this track will be released on February 28 via Full Time Hobby ahead of their UK tour.
