Last year the always dope Doldrums released sophomore album The Air Conditioned Nightmare on Sub Pop records and now they’re back with a new track and video to match. The song is called “Runner Up” and it’s produced by Guy Dallas. It’s a hazy electronic exploration, that wanders around your ears like a walk downtown in an unknown city, lit up by random streetlights & a beat that will keep your head nodding. The video fits the vibe of the track well, as singer Airick Woodhead explains his vision behind the video…
“We shot it in my apartment with one of my best friends. The idea was to show the skin out of context, as flesh, sort of alien. The way it turned out you don’t know whether it’s hot or gross, which is basically how I feel about everything.”
Watch the video for “Runner Up” above.
