Texas-based heatwave/post-punk/electronic music trio don't get lemon have revealed the video for their new single "Purple Hour Kingdom".
The song is taken from their forthcoming debut studio album 'Hyper Hollow Heaven', which will be available on March 29 through à La Carte Records. Pre-order your copy here.
“‘Purple Hour Kingdom’ is also about the end of the world and our last hours in it. It also speaks of the freedom we have knowing the end is in sight and how it can also be beautiful like a sunset. Power is also a big part of the lyrics in the album and in particular this song. The masses long for leadership, and those in perceived positions of power to lead us, to bring calm and normality, but we know that they are also just blindly fumbling through life because they also don’t actually have control over what happens, and they know that we know that.
“Neoliberals like to toss around words like civility, order, and growth and create a false sense of safety and security in fake pleasantries. In reality, they are also hollow shells clinging to the power they believe they have, which is to uphold the actual powerful system of capitalism that they’re there to protect at all costs, even if it ends everything. It was selected because it’s a bop and probably the strongest song on the album. It’s also the album closer, and we wanted to make sure it got it’s time in the spotlight.”
