Figures release new music video for ‘Someone Uninvited’

FIGURES have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Someone Uninvited, is taken from the Australian metal band’s upcoming new album, Operating In Unsafe Mode, which is scheduled to be released later this month.

“Someone Uninvited was a much pulsier and punky song than we had ever written prior, but it was instantly a favourite to both the band and those closest to us, which is why we wanted it to be a single,” explains vocalist Mark Tronson. “The message in the lyrics – that of standing up to oppression and dehumanisation – are unfortunately always relevant, even more so in 2020. For the video, we felt that the lyrics spoke for themselves and, rather than taking a narrative route, went for something that visually captures the overall sonic vibe of the record.”

Extending beyond the confines of Someone Uninvited, the new song’s accompanying video is also a reflection of FIGURES‘ upcoming debut album overall. “Conceptually the record was meant to sound glitchy, static, frantic and very high energy, so that ended up being the basis for the Someone Uninvited video, so all those elements are present and people can really get a feel for the full record. We also went for a loose ‘lyric video’ feel, as we decided that we wanted to encourage people to start singing along to our music!”

Operating In Unsafe Mode is set for release on July 17th via self-release.
