Michigan-bred Greta Van Fleet have released a new music video for their song "The Falling Sky." The video, which Gus Black and the band directed together, can be viewed below. "The Falling Sky" is off Greta Van Fleet's new album, Starcatcher, out on Lava/Republic/EMI Records.

Regarding working with the band to direct the video, Black said, "I'd say we pushed even harder on this one to create something visceral and visually stunning. I felt a deeper connection to the band during the process of creating the video and I value that aspect of our collaboration as much as the work itself."

Jake added, "A peer into the wilds of a starlit oblivion, this visual representation of 'The Falling Sky' demonstrates the darkness and barbarity in a world filled with such duality. In essence, a reminder of the complexity of the human soul and all it is capable of enduring; a letter of love written to the rising sun."

Regarding the new album, lead vocalist Josh Kiszka states, "Starcatcher is a dangerous and delightful expedition into a both violent and gentle dreamlike landscape. A purgatory of duality where brutality and beauty clash like a thunderstorm of stillness. Neither fact nor fiction inhabit the far reaches of this surrealist world. A storybook for the fighters and lovers alike Starcatcher captures a certain wonder on the fringe of mayhem."

Greta Van Fleet are currently on the road on their Starcatcher World Tour in support of the new record. The tour, produced by Live Nation, even includes four U.K. and Ireland dates, including at the legendary Wembley Arena. The WRIF is excited to present Greta Van Fleet back in Detroit. For the first time, they're at Little Caesars Arena on Sept. 8. Doors are at 7 p.m. Find ticket information and a shot to win tickets here.
