Having warmed us up with with the forward-thinking 'Growing Up Pains (Unni's Song)' last month, ALASKALASKA unveil the title track of their new album Still Life with a sophisticated video directed by Jacek Zmarz. Predicated by a flashing images warning, the aesthetic clip enhances the subtle dystopian themes in the lyrics as The Knife-eqsue synth sequences bubble beneath. The band explain: "'Still Life' asks, is what is supposed to connect us on a worldwide scale being used more for vanity/ego, distraction or even surveillance/control? 'Look at it breed, modern greed...'. It's a bit of a cautionary tale, much like 1984...if you get my drift. Still though, there are glimmers of hope - 'I've got the seed in my pocket....' as in I've got seeds to sow, seeds to grow. Small gestures can make big changes." Still Life will arrive on the 14th of October through Marathon Artists. -Holly Mullineaux
