To get a style of what it will entail, they launched a video for the monitor “Tomorrow’s Sky,” directed by Ash Pears of AshTV.

In regards to the new challenge, Greg Waterproof coat says:
“Host is one thing that I had in thoughts for a couple of years however by no means had the time to do it justice till now. It’s taking the idea of what we tried to do on the Paradise Misplaced album Host however approaching it in a contemporary context. It’s half ’80s goth, half electro , half rock, however none of them particularly. The emphasis is on hooks and environment. It’s fairly a problem to make depressing music catchy, and hopefully we’ve achieved that to a point.
“We all the time stood by ‘Host’ as an album,” he provides. “This challenge shouldn’t be completely related to that album, however a number of the concepts are extrapolated. We’re taking the essential premise and attempting it out now. And, actually, it was one thing enjoyable and fascinating for us to do. We’ve been doing Paradise Misplaced for a very long time and obtained an itch to attempt one thing completely different from the place PL is now. I might take PL down this route once more. Who is aware of? It could occur if we dwell lengthy sufficient, however I assumed, ‘Why not now?’ I had the time to do it.”
Within the press launch concerning the drop, Holmes and Waterproof coat element how they’re impressed by the West Yorkshire goth music scene within the late ’80s. They had been principally into metallic, but in addition checked out new wave and goth reveals on the time, an affect that’s evident of their music. The melodies and rhythms spoke to them, they usually determined to channel extra of that with this new challenge.
