Filligar recently released Far, a series of eight thematically and visually connected videos set to music from indie rock band Filligar's most recent album, “Near or Far.” These eight music videos, which are more like a wild series of interconnected short films, were written and directed by seven film students from USC’s School of Cinematic Arts in Los Angeles and one graduate film student from DePaul in Chicago. According to one journalist, the project promises “to redefine the music video as a collaborative art form.” Project Far will culminate in the release of a new Filligar album in May.

The past year has been full of buzz for Filligar. Their recent release, "Near or Far," reached the CMJ Top 200 for College Radio. American Rock critic Jim DeRogatis and radio icon Roe Conn have both endorsed the band. MTV has featured over a dozen Filligar songs on its programming. Their live show is exciting and fresh, and their records have garnered praise from publications like the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Sun-Times, and popular blogs like I Guess I'm Floating. Filligar has performed with the Black Keys, the Cool Kids, Pronto (a Wilco side-project), Eve 6, B.o.B, Ponytail, and Via Audio, among others.
