Uniform release new music video for ‘Permanent Embrace’

UNIFORM have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Permanent Embrace, is taken from the New York City-based noise rock band’s upcoming new album, American Standard, which is scheduled to be released later this month, via Sacred Bones.

Speaking about the new song, vocalist Michael Berdan says, “it touches on a facet of the disease that I’m incredibly wary of facing. Built on a narrative foundation laid out by author and lyrical collaborator Maggie Siebert, the song revolves around the idea of a person holding a loved one as an emotional hostage. Seeing perverse beauty in a story about a car crash, the narrator relates the analogy of two automobiles twisted together to that of his last standing relationship. As he has broken down over time, so has the one who continues to stand by him. The object of his manipulative guilt trips remains locked in a hopeless situation, terrified of what he may do to himself if they were to finally leave.

The music reflects the psychic violence of the lyrics, as riffs and rhythms that wouldn’t feel out of place in the UNSANE catalog careen into giant synth melodies before collapsing into itself. This is kind of our misguided interpretation of what FAITH NO MORE were doing on Angel Dust, and we hope that our tip of the hat to those masters of madness can hold a candle to their horrific splendor.”
