Manuok posted a video for their single “Count on Us” from Traps, released in the U.S. last September.
The stop motion video was made by Italo-Franco folk-rock group Grimoon, who Manuok frontman Scott Mercado met in 2005 while touring Europe with the Black Heart Procession.

“On previous records, I wrote and recorded almost everything by myself,” Mercado told the Reader last August.
“After the album was released, the band would then take the songs and make new versions. On the new album Traps, most of the songs were played live first and recorded last. As a result, the recordings are real close to what you'll hear live. Additionally, the guys helped arrange songs, wrote parts, and so much more. The result is the combination of all our old bands, influences, and tastes. As it turns out, every single one of us has hardcore, punk, or rock roots. So…bang! A rock album.”
Grimoon/Macaco Records have made videos for Manuok in the past, including this piece from 2010.
