Picturesque are set to take this summer by storm as part of the 2018 Vans Warped Tour, but first they are taking over the tour’s site and socials with their brand new music video “Dead Flowers.” Check out the video at VansWarpedTour.com or below.
“Dead Flowers” is the Picturesque’s first new song since 2017’s debut full-length, Back To Beautiful. It was recorded over the course of three months in various studios in California, Michigan, and the band’s home state of Kentucky, with mixing and mastering done by Erik Ron and Chris Atkins. The video was directed by Daniel Wand (Capsize).
The band recently wrapped six weeks on the road with Silverstein and Tonight Alive as part of “The Get Free Tour,” and are currently performing throughout Canada with Secrets.

On Back to Beautiful, Hollis says, “The title Back to Beautiful is referring to the early days of the band where we had all relocated to Houston and I went through a rough break up. We were engaged, and I thought I had life from there on out figured out, but I didn’t. It hit me hard mentally and physically. I wasn’t my normal self. I wasn’t sleeping enough because I kept having the same nightmares over and over and when I was awake I was lost in my own thoughts of why things were the way they were.“
He continues: “I felt like I wasn’t good enough for anyone, I felt like I was a burden on everyone around me because I was in this rut and I was afraid I would drag everyone around me down into it. This feeling lasted until around the time we finished the record. It was as if I had gotten whatever was making me ill out of my system and my entire demeanor began to reflect the change.“
