Pile returned with a music video for their new song, “Lowered Rainbow,” ahead of the band All fiction album to be released next week.
Combining a psychedelic instrumental with a dark lyricism that raises the tension of the track, even the group members felt that it differed from their previous releases. It also has incredibly abstract sketched visuals that match the mood of the song.
“Musically, this one took on a bunch of different shapes before landing the way it did on the record,” the lead singer said. Rick Maguire shared in a statement. “The structure of the song hasn’t really changed much since it was written, so most of the changes made were textual, and we took it further than a lot of other songs we have. lyrics, it’s about cults, conspiracy theories, and the trend toward increasingly imaginative beliefs about reality.
On the same day of their album’s release, Pile will also embark on a world tour beginning in Philadelphia – with additional dates scattered throughout the fall.
