The band are known for their provocative videos and ‘Picturing Love’ is no exception. Continuing with their theme of black and white imagery, the striking video explores the use of online pornography within a relationship. Co-vocalist Leah Fay explains the concept behind the track: “We've talked a lot about the mainstream media's depiction of love, romance and sex over the years. Particularly about how hetero-Hollywood porn affects the way young people discover sex and the unrealistic and male-pleasure-centric ideas it forms and perpetuates. The more that people buy into the examples of sex/romance they see, and the less they tune into the actual wants and needs of their bodies/hearts, the more fucked up sexual relationships can become. So lyrically it's exploring that. Sexuality is complicated and curious and so much more than what mainstream media feeds us and suggests it is.”

The new single is taken from their critically acclaimed second album Touch which has just been released in the UK via Caroline Records / Universal.  Also featured on the album is the previous single ‘Beck + Call’ featuring Inuit throat singer Tanya Tagaq and lead track ‘Push + Pull’, which showcases the perfectly contrasting voices of co-vocalists Pete Dreimanis and Leah Fay and spent a month at number 1 on the Canadian Alternative Chart.
