Arlie have released the official music video for “cool“, take from their debut full-length album, BREAK THE CURSE, out now. Directed by frequent collaborator Gabe Drechsler, the joyful, lo-fi visual highlights Arlie’s signature sense of humor, with singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Nathaniel Banks appearing as various characters throughout, including a mad scientist and red-caped superhero-type, among other delightfully color-blocked ensembles.
Of “cool,” Banks shared, “This is one of those songs that formed around a line that just popped into my head out of nowhere, with full musical vision in mind. The main part wanted to feel like 10 Beatles songs on top of each other, but filtered through more modern psychedelic tonal sensibilities. Like I do in a lot of my songwriting, I’m sort of ridiculing myself in these lyrics: ‘people seem to think i’m cool sometimes when we first meet, i don’t know why, it’s very strange…’”
The official video for “cool” also arrives with the announcement of an upcoming show – “A Special Evening with Arlie…” – set for October 25th at Saint Vitus in Greenpoint. Tickets can be found HERE. The Brooklyn show will mark the band’s return to NYC following their sold-out performance at Mercury Lounge earlier this summer during their US headline BREAK THE CURSE tour.
Arlie will head back out on the road this fall with LA natives and fellow indie pop band The Wrecks, traversing the country from San Diego to Rhode Island. That tour kicks off on October 27th in New Haven, Connecticut.
