Richard Reed Parry Shares “Lost in the Waves” 360° Music Video

“Lost in the Waves” is a story about a boy who goes to the ocean with his parents; they fall asleep on the beach, he walks into the ocean “and transforms in some magical, nebulous way,” says Parry. “What separates us from dissolving into the experience around us? It’s a feeling I’ve definitely had many times, where the boundaries of self and world are permeable to the point of disorientation. So much of this record is about being this young person in an older people’s world of music and song, this folk music community where the torch is passed, and losing my father at a young age, and being completely disoriented by that. This record, the songs are also referencing that nebulous psychic territory when you lose your most familiar world, when the village of your childhood disappears and you try to relocate yourself in a different one.”

In advance of its release, Revolver Magazine unveils the band’s latest video single, “The Sea And Poison.” The clip was directed by Chariot Of Black Moth with live footage by Jimmy Johansson/Super Lino Puro. Writes Revolver, “Sweden’s VICTIMS play a particularly ripping strand of d-beat, tipping the hat to Motörhead and Discharge and riding alongside like-minded heroes like Tragedy and From Ashes Rise in their version of the style, which is marked by a hard-as-hell sound infused with underlying melody… ‘The Sea And Poison’ arrives with a stylized Chariot Of Black Moth-directed video that splices in clips of the Swedes performing with shots of a polluted ocean – getting exactly to the heart of the ecological call-to-action song.”

King Von & Lil Durk Stand Up For O-Block in the Gripping “Crazy Story 2.0” Video

Two of the most vital voices in the resurgent Chicago rap scene, Lil Durk and King Von make an excellent tag team.
