Shiny Darkly – “WW” (video) [Threshold Premiere]

Threshold Magazine | Junho 4, 2018 8:50 am

Shiny Darkly will be opening some shows for Iceage in September, the same month they are set to put out their new record titled Bronze, an album produced by the band and co-produced by Nis Bysted (Choir of Young Believers, Iceage, Lower, Thulebasen etc.) and Jens Benz (Iceage, Bisse, Goodiepal, PowerSolo, etc.) that explores some melodic indie-rock with the roots in the 70’s and 80’s punk and new wave. This Monday, the Copenhagen-based band is releasing the new single “WW”, a post-punkish rhythm song that embeds their habitual sonority with syncopated cymbal signatures, percussion, oriental piano and exotic elements such as xylophone and flute.

This new “WW” follows the previously released singles “Instructor & Crowd” and “The Lakes Mirrors It All“, and it will be also featured on the new LP. The video for “WW” – a look into Scandinavian sub-urban summer deadpan hard young men – was directed by Frederik Valentin and can be watched below.

Bronze is set to release in September via Third Coming Records (FR) and Crunchy Frog (DK).
