Lionize release music video for ‘Loneliest Whale’

LIONIZE have released a brand new music video!

The video, for new song Loneliest Whale, is taken from the band’s upcoming new album Panic Attack!, which is scheduled for release in October.

The video was filmed in Washington DC earlier this month, and was directed by LIONIZE‘s own Nathan Bergman, Chris Brooks, and Henry Upton, with production by the band and MyGoodEye, and editing from MyGoodEye‘s Allison Woest and David Brodsky.

Speaking about the video, frontman Nathan Bergman says, “we decided for the first time in our career to direct our own music video. This is the world premiere for Loneliest Whale – where I am desperately and depressingly searching for my pod. I think music is such a beautiful community that brings everyone together – and even when we are at our loneliest music seems to be a constant friend. Also we got Jean-Paul from CLUTCH in a whale costume, so that’s fucking awesome.”

Discussing the song on its release two weeks ago, Nathan elaborated, “The song Loneliest Whale is one of my favourite songs we’ve ever written. It was inspired by an article in Science Weekly about a whale that can’t find its pod because it’s sending and receiving frequency is unlike any other whale on Earth. As we were writing the album, we began to understand that everyone feels like this whale. Politically, socially, economically – we all feel like we aren’t being heard. Our signals are crossed and we’re looking for our own pods, our communities. The chorus simply asks “Is there anyone out there, just like me?” So many times, especially as artists, we’ve felt most at home on tour or at a rock n’ roll festival, where we’ve found our community.”

The upcoming album was produced by the band with co-production from J. Robbins and Charlie Stavish (IMAGINE DRAGONS, THE MARS VOLTA), who also handled mixing duties. The album also features CLUTCH sticksman Jean-Paul Gaster behind the kit and is the first to be released on the band’s new label ElectricReckoning Music.
