Cloakroom have signed to Closed Casket Activities, marking the announcement with a new single called ‘Unbelonging’. The track arrives with an accompanying video filmed over the course of the band’s recent European tour. Check it out below.
“It’s a pop song wielding 140 bpm of optimism that can fall apart and dishearten just as quickly as it captivates – Cloakroom meets Psychedelic Furs,” the group said of the new song in a statement. About the visual, they added: “Similar to a Crowelian ceremonial dagger, all the lyrics to the new record were crafted under the cover of darkness, predominantly in a moving vehicle; predominantly leaving any number of border town bars. That’s why we chose to do a ‘found footage’ kind of delivery method for the video.”
According to a press release, the follow-up to 2022’s Dissolution Wave is due next year. ‘Unbelonging’ and the rest of its songs were tracked in December of 2023 with engineer Zac Montez at Electrical Audio in Chicago and Rec Room Recording in Des Plaines, Illinois.
