After years of wowing audiences worldwide, Australian electronic act Vallis Alps will unveil their debut album this summer.

Revealed today, Cleave will be released on August 24 via The Orchard. A new song from the album titled "Higher Than This" is available on digital services right now.

Parissa said this about the song:

"I am constantly reflecting on my own experiences as a woman in a world that is unequal. I think of the beauty, strength, generosity and advancement of women, and people in general, who continually choose to move forward despite the hurdles, and the richness of their lives, their friendships and their inner worlds. They know what’s ‘higher.’ When writing the song, I was talking to Vetta Borne who co-wrote a lot of the lyrics with me about how held back society is because we continue to fail to give women equal opportunities to men, and show them the respect and honor they deserve. Until then, we will never know our true potential and what we can achieve in every arena."

An accompanying music video, which can be seen below, was directed by Tanmay Chowdhary, who said this about working on the visual:

"My thoughts revolved around using a structure that represents the fragility of the male ego and the abandoned power plant on the edge of the shoreline mirrored it perfectly. We built the narrative around these men who guard a peculiar diamond in this towering plant. Parissa plays the role of a spirit that infiltrates this plant. The eventual demise of the men came in the form of their own self-reflections. The film is a continuation of a language that explores the emotional journey of the album."
