Asylums drop new video for Millennials

Asylums have dropped a new video for their latest single Millennials, directed by Kana Waiwaiku.

"Kana and I started this shoot by getting in a cab with a fish tank, a ton of vitamin tablets and a painting of Earth," explains Luke Branch. "The production ended in an all-night casino, huddled around a laptop in Southend, finalising the look of the video using their free wi-fi. It seemed fitting for a song which is ultimately about alienation."

Meanwhile, of the song itself, Luke says: "For the first time in a single we have stripped back the distortion and pulled back the pace, on Millennials we wanted to put the lyrical message up front and centre but that message is open to interpretation."

The track is taken from the band's forthcoming Alien Human Emotions album, which is due out on July 6 via Cool Thing Records. Pre-order it at this link.
