Los Angeles drone-pop act Dummy dropped their new track "Final Weapon” yesterday.

The music video for the single, which can be seen below, was directed by vocalist Emma Maatman, who said this about the single/visual:

"“Final Weapon” weaves a lot of disparities together. It’s got a frantic beat but a laid back, dreamy vocal delivery. It’s a fairly poppy and upbeat track, but the lyrical themes are rather serious: nuclear weapons testing and military experimentation. The video relates more to the overall feeling of the song – on an initial surface level everything is bright, colorful fun, but pretty soon things frantically devolve in front of your eyes, and more disturbing images start to appear.

On a very basic level, the idea for the “Final Weapon” video was a take on “squish” videos, or any of the “satisfying” viral videos that pop up in your various social media feeds. I’ve always found something inherently unnerving about those. We were hoping it would make for a fun video to watch, I knew for sure it would be a fun video to make, and most importantly I thought it would capture the feeling the song gives me – like a psychedelic Dadaist birthday party spinning out of control."

“Final Weapon” comes from Dummy’s forthcoming studio album Mandatory Enjoyment, which will be released on October 22 via Trouble in Mind. Pre-orders for the album can be made here.
