Pile returned with a music video for their new song, “Lowered Rainbow,” ahead of the band’s All Fiction album dropping next week.
Blending a psychedelic instrumental with some dark lyricism that raises the tension of the track, even the band members felt it differed from their previous releases. It also has some incredibly abstract sketched-out visuals that match the song’s vibe.
“Musically, this one took a bunch of different shapes before it landed the way it did on the record,” lead singer Rick Maguire shared in a statement. “The structure of the song didn’t really change much from when it was written so most of the alterations made were textural, and we pushed it further than a lot of other songs we have. Lyrically, 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 be embarking on a global tour that kicks off in Philly — with additional dates scattered throughout the fall.
