The video was directed by J.P. Bradburn who also worked with the band on their video for “Blue.”  NPR said of the song, “’Time Machine’ moves with the stubborn resolve of a tightrope walker on a windy day: The song heaves along with intertwining guitars and the soulful vocal of Parsonz, who seems more aware of her dynamic abilities than ever.”

The Atlanta-quartet is currently on a Southeastern tour with Wilco, playing this evening at the Bayou Music Center in Houston. Royal Thunder’s headlining tour kicks off May 28 in New Orleans and will include a brief run of shows with Halestorm and Rival Sons.

The band has been sharing behind-the-scenes footage filmed during the making of Crooked Doors, as well as a newly released clip where they discuss the individual tracks on the album.  The first two in the track-by-track series of webisodes can be seen here: http://youtu.be/ubU7s9lewkU and http://youtu.be/w0nJVT5ZPDY.

Crooked Doors was released earlier this month, with Stereogum calling the album "the hard rock equivalent of Fleetwood Mac's Rumors."  Entertainment Weekly said Crooked Doors “leans on its substantial pop chops. Tracks like ‘Glow’ are more Heart than Led Zep, which is not a bad thing at all.”  Metal Hammer UK recently nominated the band for “Best Underground Band” in their annual Golden Gods’ Awards.
