Preoccupations Unveil New Single/Video "Death of Melody"

Canadian post-punk/new wave band Preoccupations (formerly known as Viet Cong) have unveiled their new single "Death of Melody".

The song is taken from their forthcoming fourth studio album 'Arrangements', set to arrive on September 9. Pre-order your copy here.

Arrangements sees Preoccupations finally and confidently inhabiting the dystopia that they have been carefully creating from their musical genesis. They are in a room with taped up windows, except for a tiny pinprick of light beaming from the otherworld onto the far wall, upside down and blurred, it’s recognizable enough to fill you with warm familiarity and nostalgia of unknown origins.

Watch: Preoccupations Reveal Music Video For New Single "Antidote"

The song is taken from their upcoming new album 'New Material', which will be out on March 23 through Jagjaguwar. Pre-order your copy here

ABout the song, the band explain: "Antidote" is about humans forgetting that we’re apes, it’s about trying to make sense out of something that we’d be better off not trying to make sense of. It’s about having infinite knowledge at our fingertips, but still making all the wrong choices over and over. It’s about trying to find a moment in your day where you can take a breath and remember that we’re basically all just animals bumbling around."

Michael Wallace and Evan Pearce directed the video, watch it below.
