VIDEO: Sad Night Dynamite Debut Video for 'What Does That Make Me?'

Genre-bending duo Sad Night Dynamite have debuted the official video for single "What Does That Make Me?"

The video premiered this morning via Consequence, who raved, "it's clear that this is a band that is after something just as exciting visually as they are sonically." "What Does That Make Me?" is available now via Elektra Records/Parlophone Records, with the official video streaming now on the band's official YouTube channel.

With its hip-hop groove and psychedelic textures, "What Does That Make Me?" is Sad Night Dynamite as close as they get to summer-mode: or in the band's own words, "a brief lapse in the nightmare that is SND." At its heart, "What Does That Make Me?" is in fact an existential anthem about those moments when "you're pranging out, wondering what people would think of you if they saw the way you were behaving. Would you act the same way if someone was watching you? Would they think differently of you? Therefore, should you look at yourself differently? Who's the real you? The version people see, or the person you are behind closed doors?"

Sad Night Dynamite continue to rise as one of the UK's most exciting and unusual breakout bands. Across their Volume I and Volume II mixtapes, childhood friends Archie Blagden and Josh Greacen have built a distinct sound - and surreal world - which, on "What Does That Make Me?," they continue to push into exciting new territories.

Having previously collaborated with the likes of IDK and Moonchild Sanelly and earned an impassioned global audience, Sad Night Dynamite explore the space between dystopia and escapism, home truths and grim fantasy. They may not claim to know the answers, but "What Does That Make Me?" is Sad Night Dynamite exploring such questions in their own idiosyncratic way.

A project birthed entirely in lockdown, Sad Night Dynamite have since been praised for their energetic, uninhibited live shows. Earlier this year, the pair supported Glass Animals' US tour and made their hometown festival debut at Glastonbury. The band is set to appear at numerous UK/European festivals later this summer.

This fall, Sad Night Dynamite will embark on a North American headline tour that kicks off on November 4 in Vancouver, BC, and wraps on November 29 in New York, NY. A complete list of upcoming live dates and ticket information can be found below.

Sad Night Dynamite are hard at work on new music that continues to evolve (and surprise). Be on the lookout for more from the duo soon.
