Tomato Flower\u00a0have shared a hallucinatory piece of art-rock called\u00a0Destroyer<\/em>.<\/strong>\u00a0The Baltimore quartet have developed the uncanny psychedelia of 2022\u2019s\u00a0\u2018<\/em>Gold Arc<\/a>\u2019 and\u00a0\u2018Construction\u2019\u00a0<\/a>EPs to give space to something more raw and immediate. Interwoven guitars and pulsing rhythms collide like a struggle between the shadow world and the waking world, while the vocals shift between screaming and insistent melody as they spin an oblique narrative of nighttime paranoia and distress.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the song, singer\/guitarist Jamison Murphy says: “Destroyer came out all at once in a period of sleeplessness and turmoil and then was sharpened through collaboration. It’s about seeing shadow people, but there’s a reversal, and the speaker becomes possessed, becomes the destroyer”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video was directed by the band’s Austyn Wohlers, who was inspired by Pylon’s music video for\u00a0Beep<\/em>,<\/a>\u00a0and features a solitary Jamison traversing the empty streets and basements of Baltimore.\u00a0Watch the video clip forthcoming Destroyer<\/em> via YouTube below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
