[UPDATE: This contest is closed and the winner has been notified.]

Here's the gorgeous new video from Mimicking Birds, for their striking, meditative "Bloodlines," a track from last year's LP EONS. Directed by Spencer Gentz, the video follows a mysterious orb with otherworldly powers, coming into contact with humankind as a portal to other dimensions. I think? Don't take my word for it. Check out the eerie but uplifting clip for yourself.

And that should handily stoke the fire in your belly for catching Mimicking Birds live—which you can do this Sunday at Mississippi Studios. Tickets are on sale here, BUT we've also got a pair of tickets to give away to a lucky reader.

To enter to win, send an email to contest at portlandmercury dot com with "I want Mimicking Birds!" in the subject line. In the body of the email, please include your first and last name. We'll select a winner at random and send him or her, plus a guest, off to Sunday night's show. This giveaway closes on Friday at 3 pm, so act now.
