German psychedelic krautrock outfit Smokemaster shares a music video for their new single »War Piece«

Cologne, Germany based psychedelic krautrock outfit Smokemaster shares a music video for their new single »War Piece«, out now on 7″ vinyl via Tonzonen Records.

»War Piece« is also the first single from the band’s forthcoming album, »Cosmic Connector«, set to release in April 2023.

A statement on the crisis situation and the affirmation of the motto of the hippie movement Love & Peace. For the music video, the band worked together with the Iranian director Saba Moghadami, in whose home country there have been protests and civil war-like conditions since the death of Mahsa Amini in September 2022. Portions of Moghadami’s team are still in Iran, providing footage for the hand-drawn and animated music video under the most adverse of circumstances.

On side B of the single, »Haus der Lust« is an adaptation of the classic »House Of The Rising Sun« with completely new German lyrics. As a non-album track, »Haus der Lust« was produced exclusively for the single.
