Dutch garage rock band Iguana Death Cult have unveiled their new single "Pushermen" today.
The song comes with a music video directed by hache.mov, which can be seen below. The band said this about the new song and accompaying music video:
"This is one of those songs that just sort of happened while fooling around. Talking about it now already feels kind of surreal but we were literally trapped inside my home because of the curfew that was installed due to covid. Guitar in hand, we were reviewing the state of the world and the growing division and distrust we saw not only in the media, but amongst the people we know. Someone joked that we should quit the band and go into the vaccine business and so, we had our chorus. A chorus that ends on a more serious note that we don't want to be victims of our time. I tried to make the lyrics ambiguous enough that you don't really know which side the narrator is on. In the end we're just all people living different lives.
'Pushermen.' It kind of sounds like an action movie doesn’t it? Sadly we came a couple of million short, so Hache came with the idea to do a casting video for a fictional film called: 'Pushermen.' The scenes we did were loosely based on the movie 'Superfly.' If you know, you know."
"Pushermen" comes from Iguana Death Cult’s upcoming studio album Echo Palace, which will be released on May 12 via Innovative Leisure. Pre-orders for the album can be made here.
Iguana Death Cult are currently in Texas for SXSW. Next month, they’ll have a trio of performances in the U.K. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now.
