The video was created by Callier herself, who told The405: "I will forever be influenced by the surreal works of Jodorowsky—the gorgeous, bizarre images of Holy Mountain forever burned into my brain; campy lo-fi horror movies; and the first music videos that mesmerized me as a child, most especially The Cars “You Might Think,” Tom Petty’s “Don’t Come Around Here No More,” and anything by Weird Al—with their ridiculous sense of humor, and a narrative campy colorful style I love. I approach both music and videos with things in mind—painting, humor, narrative, sexy—some pieces obviously lean more towards one concept than the other.” Watch it below.

Our new Single of the Week isDay Wave (aka Jackson Phillips) and Hazel English new version of the Interpol classic "PDA".
About the cover Wave explains: "I remember first hearing 'Turn On The Bright Lights' when I was 14. I was blown away. And for me the immediate stand out was 'PDA'. I've been playing the song on repeat ever since. I never thought of attempting to cover it until recently, it was almost too important to me. But having been so influential for me, I thought it would be cool to pay homage to the album."
Hazel English adds: "Listening to Interpol really takes me back to my teenage years and I had a really fun time covering 'PDA' with Day Wave."
London-based britpop/lo-fi band Sleepovers have dropped the video for their brand new single "Good Sides".
About the track, band member Alfie, explains: "'Good Sides' tells the story of the beginning of that process when I was trying to move on. The band was kicking into gear, so was the partying, we all got new jobs and you can hear it in the sound."
"It's been captured through the last year of my camera roll for the video, all the ups and downs and this ep was its soundtrack. We chose to use the camera roll idea because although there may be a few bad photos you never capture a negative moment or put it on Instagram if you’re fighting or miserable, only the good sides make the story.’"
Russian dream pop/shoegaze band Pinkshinyultrablast have released their brand new single "In The Hanging Gardens".

On ‘In The Hanging Gardens’ delicate vocals soar effortlessly above a haunting ambience and ethereal embellishments are complimented by a driven beat. It’s the perfect track to showcase the band’s new, more electronic direction and while retaining their signature quirkiness, there’s another layer of experimentation here.
Welsh rock trio Manic Street Preachers have announced the release of their 13th studio album titled 'Resistance Is Futile'.
The follow-up to 2014's acclaimed LP Futurology, was recorded at the band’s new recording studios in Newport, and will be released on 6th April 2018 via Columbia/Sony.
A statement by the band reads: "The main themes of 'Resistance is Futile' are memory and loss; forgotten history; confused reality and art as a hiding place and inspiration.
"It's obsessively melodic - in many ways referencing both the naive energy of 'Generation Terrorists' and the orchestral sweep of 'Everything Must Go'. After delay and difficulties getting started, the record has come together really quickly over the last few months through a surge of creativity and some old school hard work."
