The Dandy Warhols have unveiled a brand new single called "Forever," which has arrived with a matching video.
The track comes from the band's upcoming 10th studio album, which is due out 2019 via Dine Alone. Full details for the album have yet to be revealed, but it will mark the follow-up to 2016's Distortland.
The video for "Forever" celebrates (or mourns?) the band's career, which turned 25 this year.
"To get a feel for the massive length of our career in a three and a half minute video, I broke it up into 3 parts and used Greek mythology as my guide," Courtney Taylor-Taylor explained in a press release. "First, the labyrinth with the minotaur guarding the passage. A classic jerk doorman with a tiny nose ring making us wait as if he's gotta make sure these are the right ghosts. Welcome to our lives. Next, the hermaphrodite angel (wearing a tie as subtle symbolism). Sweet and just wants to be helpful, not making a distinction whether it's for better or worse. Finally, Cerberus the multi-headed dog, which represents our personal demons or whatever drives us to continue doing this."
He added, "All in all it sounds like and probably is a pretentious lot of shit, but it sure feels good to do it anyway."
