Deerhunter share new song ‘Living My Life’

To coincide with today’s release of their seventh studio album ‘Fading Frontier’ and forthcoming worldwide tour, Deerhunter have debuted a new track, Living My Life.

The third track shared by the band follows the mutant funk of Snakeskin and luminous single Breaker. As with Breaker, Deerhunter kingpin Bradford Cox has directed the video for Living My Life. Cox describes it as ““macro meditations on geology and botany to observations of afternoon light filtered onto wooden floors”. The idea was to have a formless visual that does not conform to the overwhelming cleverness and narrative ambition of most modern videos. Instead,  we have a sometimes pointless, sometimes ridiculous, and sometimes hypnotically beautiful mess of images and rhythm. The final section of the video, in particular, could be a teenage garage band take on Tarkovsky’s Solaris. Various chemicals and dyes were used to create a liquid fantasia for the song’s transcendent climax.” The video is dedicated to Miles Davis – watch it via YouTube below.

‘Fading Frontier’ was written and recorded in the band’s hometown of Atlanta, GA, with production duties shared buy the band (Bradford Cox, Lockett Pundt, Moses Archuleta and Josh McKay) and Ben H. Allen, continuing a collaboration that began with 2010’s ‘Halcyon Digest’. ‘Fading Frontier’ also features contributions from Broadcast’s James Cargill and Tim Gane from Stereolab.

1. All The Same
