A Lot Like Birds release music video for new track “Next to Ungodliness”
A Lot Like Birds is premiering “Next To Ungodliness” – a new song from their upcoming full-length album No Place, which will be out on October 29 via Equal Vision Records. Watch it HERE.
The dynamic ten track album takes listeners on an eerie roller coaster of beautiful chaos, with arching cinematic interludes laced between destructive gut-wrenching, chill-inducing masterpieces. The complex construction of No Place sets one into a mesmerizing world of darkness and dread led by urgency, intensity and fear. Thematically the album revolves around a single concept, exploring the emotions behind rooms in a home.
Co-vocalist Cory Lockwood says of the writing process for the song, “The bathroom was a song idea that I had wanted to flesh out since the beginning but as each song was written, the bathroom never fully came together – until we got to Portland. While we were up there we decided to add it. Mikey spent a day in a house alone with direction from the rest of us (we wanted something aggressive, short and loud) and came back with this song. It worked perfectly. Bathrooms are where people do everything they would never want the rest of the world to see. And even though you would never want anybody else to see you there, it’s one of the only rooms where you get a chance to look at yourself. It’s so private and odd; it’s where a person can either be vain or self-deprecating; fantasize about their incredible future or scrutinize themselves to the point that they want everything to end.”
The video was filmed in Sacramento, CA by director Michael Elinn.
The six-piece band features duel vocalists, Cory Lockwood and Kurt Travis, who seamlessly intertwine, layer and harmonize while interchanging singing, screaming and spoken word duties, guitarists Michael Franzino and Ben Wiacek, bassist Michael “Butter” Littlefield and drummer Joe Arrington.
A Lot Like Birds has just wrapped up a co-headline tour with Lions Lions and will kick off their headline tour on October 29 in Atlanta, GA with support from HRVRD, Night Verses and My Iron Lung. All upcoming tour dates can be found below.
