Singles and music videos
[edit | edit source]The album was preceded by the singles "Straight", released November 19, 2014,[13] and "We've Come So Far", released January 14, 2015.[14] Both songs received music videos: the video for "Straight" was released December 6, 2014, directed by Brook Linder, and features a TV station's signal being hijacked in order to display "a nightmare of analog psychedelia and haunted pop culture imagery", inspired by the Max Headroom broadcast signal intrusion of 1987.[15] The "We've Come So Far" video was released February 19, 2015, and contains footage of the last show at Williamsburg, Brooklyn concert venue Death By Audio which was directed by the venue's co-founder Matt Conboy.[16]
