After the recording and release of their debut LP, The Infinite Music Of The French Horn Rebellion, the duo and brothers, Robert and David Perlick-Molinari, realised that there wasn't enough mention of the French Horn itself in the album's singles and more importantly, their videos. For 'Dancing Out' the guys took a step back from the visual aspect, and allowed for a new style of FHR video clip.

Speaking to Billboard.com, Rob states:

"After our first album, our visuals were mostly cosmic things and space and we were really searching to figure out what we were doing and why. But we realized as were making new music that we shouldn't hide the geeky nature of ourselves. We should be proud of it. That's where the lyrics come in - 'The trumpets, they said, were too loud,' 'We're the right kids with the wrong sound.' It's kind of about ourselves and our journey from being classical instrumentalists to dance music makers."

The track is insanely 80's disco influenced, and considering that this is the band's second collaboration with Jody Watley (who was big in the 80's apparently?), it's not surprising that this is the direction the Rebellion is heading. Plus the clip features some pretty classic dance moves, a new 80's styled romance and of course, the French Horn that brought the couple together.

'Dancing Out' follows a series of recent singles for French Horn Rebellion, with Viceroy, JD Samson of MEN and Le Tigre, collaborating with the duo. The band will release additional collaborations with other uber cool and hyped acts, Ghost Beach, St. Lucia and Haerts later this year. Those singles will then be compiled for an album that will released some time in early 2014. More info as it comes.
