Vive la Void Share New Single DEATH MONEY From Their Debut Album Out May 4

Vive la Void, the solo project of Sanae Yamada of Moon Duo, has shared the new single 'Death Money,' along with an accompanying video directed by Yamada herself. The track is taken from Vive La Void's self-titled debut, out May 4th on Sacred Bones. 'Death Money,' is a multi-layered, propulsive exploration of the synthesizer's power to concoct swirls of psychedelic atmosphere, as well as a testament to Yamada's skills as a songwriter. Here she deftly wields repetition and haze, creating interlocking synth lines that build throughout the track as swirling orbs of color overtake the screen.
