Being Dead’s new single and video, “Van Goes,” out today, is a tantalizing glimpse into their upcoming album ‘EELS,’ set for release on September 27 via Bayonet. Known for their unique soundscapes, Being Dead crafts their records like intricate mosaics, each track a technicolor incantation that transports listeners through time. Their music blends the echoes of medieval vocal harmonies with surfy guitar riffs and bursts of punk chaos, creating a sound that feels both ancient and futuristic.
For “EELS,” the band spent two weeks in Los Angeles recording with GRAMMY-winning producer John Congleton. The result is a darker, more devilish record that also delivers a rough, raucous sonic experience. This album dives deep into themes of heartbreak and excitement, enchantment, and dancing, capturing the essence of Being Dead. Despite its ominous undertones, “EELS” maintains a playful, inviting energy, perfectly encapsulating the band’s enigmatic charm.
