Indie rock figurehead Shamir shared a new video for bold single <\/strong>Diet<\/em> <\/strong>lifted from his self-titled album \u2018Shamir<\/a>\u2019. Released last year to sweeping critical acclaim, the record was included on best of 2020 lists from NPR, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, VICE, Consequence of Sound, Billboard, The Guardian, Los Angeles Times, The AV Club, BrooklynVegan, Gay Times and beyond. Following previous singles Other Side<\/a><\/em>, Running<\/a><\/em>, I Wonder<\/a><\/em> and quarantine pop anthem On My Own<\/a><\/em>, Shamir explains: \u201c\u2018Diet\u2019 is a song I never thought I’d make a video for – it wasn’t a single, nor was it planned to be one, but it’s a song that instantly resonated with everyone when the album came out. The origin of the song is pretty dark, taking inspiration from the film \u2018My Friend Dahmer,\u2019 but the deeper meaning of the song is less about the gore or even Jeffrey Dahmer and more about the battle we all have with our darker urges and\/or neurosis that tend to appear during our adolescence\/pubescent years and how that plays a part in developing our moral compass. The video was filmed in different locations around Lake Tahoe in my home state of Nevada.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
