MEANWHILE, INSIDE A GIRAFFE
Ten unfortunate years after the release of "Black Out the Sun" (Metropolis Records, 2014) Everything Goes Cold return to the dance floor to find it has been replaced with a gravel pit where people gather to watch and wager on bloody no-holds-barred combat between man and krill. Everyone knows that can mean only one thing: The band is releasing a new single.
"Nadir" releases digitally on July 23 through Pittsburgh's own Distortion Productions, which is similar to a regular record label but there's fries in it. Awash forever in a sea of human legs and inhuman sounds, Everything Goes Cold worked with INHALT's Matia Simovich to produce the single, finally making good on their long-forgotten promise to "sound good." A pounding remix by Susan Subtract of Physical Wash will leave listeners deeply regretting the aforementioned loss of the dance floor.
It really seems like they could have kept the dance floor and put the gravel pit somewhere else. Maybe it's a zoning issue, I don't know.
A new music video to complement the single would be nice, wouldn't it. I'll bet you'd like that, wouldn't you. If only Gabriel Roland, longtime live visualist for Everything Goes Cold, had directed one, you could watch it. And he did. So you can. And you will. You might be watching it right now. Stop that. Finish reading this first, don't try to do both things at once.
