Renowned for their innovative sound and poignant lyrics, Delta Sleep have unveiled the music video for their latest single Figure In The Dark, directed by the band's singer and guitarist, Devin Yüceil.
With their latest single the band embraced a collaborative approach, incorporating new instrumentation, electronic samples, and synths. Influenced by punk, indie, and electronic genres the band announced the release of their fourth studio album, Blue Garden
, set for 11th October.
Speaking about their single Figure In The Dark
Yüceil says;
This one is loosely based on the film, The Neverending Story. It is also about finding your place in a world where people live in silence, and are afraid to speak out for what is right.
The accompanying video for Figure In The Dark
was directed by the band's singer and guitarist, Devin Yüceil, who is an accomplished filmmaker and Emmy Award nominee. Yüceil says;
Expanding on themes from the song about escapism while facing the darkness of the world. Lane, our protagonist, is paralysed by his dissociation and unable to engage with the world around him. The anxiety reaches a boiling point, and Lane has no choice but to face his own demons.
The video was shot on a day off from tour, in the countryside of West Virginia and it involved renting a hand cranked fork lift from a local hardware store.
Known for their dynamic live performances and critical acclaim, Delta Sleep will tour the US in October, followed by a UK co-headline tour with And So I Watch You From Afar and festival appearances in Italy and the UK.
With a growing global following and a #1 Bandcamp Rock Chart hit, the soon to be releases album Blue Garden
promises to solidify the band's reputation as pioneers in their genre.
The single Figure In The Dark is available through all streaming platforms.
