Photo Cred: Moni Haworth WATCH & SHARE: Collapsing Scenery - "Tired Blood" "Part pop, part ’80s new wave... a dreamy ballad filled with reverb-soaked harmonies and neurotic drum machines." - BULLETT Collapsing Scenery shares their new video "Tired Blood" (dir. by Hunter Crowder) via BULLETT. The band's Reggie Debris explains that the track is about "the fatigue and exhaustion that can set in after years of activism, when nothing seems to change or things seem to get actively worse." You can check out the video here. Collapsing Scenery will be playing two NYC shows this week + a Philadelphia show, more info below: TOUR DATES 07.25 - The Pyramid Club (w/ James Chance, Miho Hatori) - New York, NY 07.26 - 367 Bedford Ave. - Brooklyn, NY 07.29 - Ortlieb's - Philadelphia, PA Collapsing Scenery’s music and creative process represent the world as the band wishes the world were: playful, polyglot, intense, committed, politically engaged, free, open, and without boundaries or hierarchies. The band formed in the terrible autumn of 2013, under a pall of paranoia and disgust, as predator missiles rained on Middle Eastern heads and each day brought news of further surveillance of innocents and more aggressive pursuit of those who had the nerve to inform us about it. Against this backdrop, erstwhile collaborators Don De Vore and Reggie Debris put aside the stringed instruments on which they’d first learned to play music and on which they were comfortable and versed, and assembled an impressive pile of analog electronics: samplers, step sequencers, synths and drum machines, all supplemented by effects pedals usually applied to guitars.  From the largely improvised sessions, many accompanied by drummer Ryan Rapsys, the seeds of songs began their germination. Lyrics that Debris had been amassing over years of political rage and frustration began to find their homes when paired with ad-libbed instrumentals. Melodies and cadences alchemically emerged as the words settled into their natural rhythmic patterns. These elements create dizzying music that by turns touches on punk, industrial, techno, hip-hop, free jazz, soul, disco, folk balladry, and whatever other spirits happen to inhabit the recording studio at any given moment.
