U.K. indie rock band Lovejoy have delivered their new song "Normal People Things.”

The new song follows Lovejoy’s latest EP Wake Up & It’s Over, which peaked at number eight on the Top Alternative Albums chart. Vocalist Will Gold said this about the track, which is out on digital services right now:

“‘Normal People Things’ is a song I wrote about things that normal people do, such as shopping, showering, occupying space, panic attacks, etc. However, there are also some things normal people do not do. This song will not talk about that.”

An official music video for the tune, which can be seen below, was directed by Ted Nivison. The visual was filmed in Los Angeles during the band’s summer trek across the United States. Nivison said this about their vision for the video:

“I wanted to take the concept behind the song and flip it on its head, placing the band in the weirdest form of a ‘Normal Person Thing’ which in this case was those old awkward family portraits from the ‘70s-‘90s. I really wanted to have most of the video be like a collection of living portrait photography, with only the final chorus being the moment in which they break out of it.”

In December, the band will have a handful of headlining performances and festival appearances in the U.S. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now here.
