Santa Cruz hardcore band Scowl has released their Dead Oceans debut, Are We All Angels, along with a video for Fantasy, directed by Louise de Nexon. Set in a hauntingly surreal arcade, the video follows the band as they slip from idle amusement into something far more suffocating.
Produced by Will Yip (Turnstile, Title Fight, Mannequin Pussy) and mixed by Rich Costey (Fiona Apple, My Chemical Romance, Vampire Weekend), the album finds the venomous and antagonistic band funnelling their aggression through a more expansive version of themselves.
It’s already garnered the attention of The New York Times, Pitchfork, NPR, and FADER and many more. Scowl has also announced their Late Night TV debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on April 9. The album features previously released singles and videos Special, B.A.B.E, Not Hell Not Heaven and Tonight (I’m Afraid).
