A mysterious glowing orb stalks a young skater girl in this video for the track "Jacaranda" by Oakland-based band Trails and Ways. KEXP is excited to present the world premiere of this sci-fi storyline single off the band's debut full-length, Pathology, out now on Barsuk Records.

The California quartet may have found each other in co-op houses at UC Berkeley, but their journeys have taken them to far away countries where the Jacaranda trees bloom, like Ceará in Brazil and Galicia in Spain. By combining the bossa nova grooves they discovered with the indie rock they loved, Trails and Ways forged a new path, catching the attention of local label Barsuk Records.

Trails and Ways are currently on tour on the East Coast, playing June 18th at the Mercury Lounge in New York City and June 20th at the Palisades in Brooklyn. Don't worry, Seattle — the band heads our way on Friday, July 10th at The Sunset.
