Today, they’ve shared a new song and video, “Keep Your Name”. The video, co-directed by David Longstreth (the multi-instrumentalist, producer and vocalist behind the group) and Elon Rutberg (Kanye West’s creative director), sees Longstreth smash guitars and draw a variety of things, including the loveable poop emoji – it’s both deadly serious and incredibly stupid. The tune is a belter, too, featuring a sample of their own tune “Impregnable Question”. It’s likely that news of a new album isn’t far off now, but in the meantime, watch the “Keep Your Name” video below. Escape the algorithm!
