Death of Lovers Share Daydreamy Music Video for ORPHANS OF THE SMOG
By: Tori Hartshorn Nov. 20, 2017
As the release date of Death of Lovers' long-awaited debut draws near, the quartet has shared a pensive new video. Accompanying the gleaming post-punk track"Orphans Of The Smog," the Kevin Haus-directed video weaves through a familiar cityscape with a striking air of pensiveness and poignancy. Watch the video in full via Revolver today. The song is taken from their forthcoming debut album The Acrobat, due out November 24 via DAIS Records.
The band's first release since 2014, The Acrobat fully realizes the artistic manifesto that began with the stellar EP Buried Under A World Of Roses. Resurfacing with a glossy new wave-tinged sound, Death of Lovers tread on thrilling sonic territory without losing the hallmarks that beguiled the world three years ago.
Created in fits and starts amidst amidst three members' grueling tour schedule with shoegaze outfit Nothing, The Acrobat is a daring leap in Death of Lovers' stylistic evolution. Driven by intertwining synths and lock-step rhythms, Death of Lovers kick up the dust of their post-punk forbearers one song at time.
The Acrobat will be released on November 24 via DAIS Records. Death of Lovers have also announced a handful of shows in support of the album in Los Angeles, Brooklyn, and Philadelphia (dates below). Additionally, check out their video for "The Absolute" today and keep an eye out for more updates.
