The follow-up to 2019's ZAM, will be out on October 2 via RAS / Greenway. Pre-order your copy here.
Following the rhythm-wracked previous single “Cavehead,” the band strikes back with another new track that seeks to siphon from the cosmic horror and wonder that lurks between the fibers of space and time. As you prepare to cast off your mortal cage and summon the cruel cosmic gods of old, the tones of "Sweet Freak" strike up, creating a bodily hum that aligns the humors, walking the listener to the edge and slipping over the side of the fissure. Fueled by ravenous riffs and a thunder of bass, the song takes a more insistent tack than the Witch Fingers followed last, but like “Cavehead,” that howling heartbeat of rhythm drives the song like an engine. Sax stabs jolt the listener to life, guitars dart in and out before reaching an apex of amplifier froth.
The accompanying video, shot by Spaghetti Jesus, pulls from a childhood love of science fiction and Kaiju films, a fascination for claymation, and a fear of the dark. SJ admits, “I was definitely aiming to make a short cosmic horror film that walked the line between camp and nightmare fuel,” and he’s not foolin '. The clip rakes in the waking horror of capture and vivisection and runs it through the psychedelic childhood comfort of claymation before melting your mind in the sun.
