To celebrate the release of Daiistar’s new album Good Time, the rising Austin act enlisted the help of Seattle-born, now Texas-based band Night Beats, who are on a new album cycle of their own.

Directed by Cameron Kisel, Exotic Fruitica is quickly catching fire as one of Austin’s most exciting bands.
