Being Dead presents “Van Goes,” new single/video from the Austin, Texas forthcoming album, EELS, available September 27th via Bayonet Records (Beach Fossils). The band kick off their tour with a show in Austin on July 27th.

The band’s accompanying video for “Van Goes” explores this darker, wicked (and sometimes disturbing) side. The video opens on two aspiring midwives who rear a child named Shivalieo into a cruel world of lies and deceit. Shivalieo relives their highest highs and lowest lows seconds before taking their own life. “Our goal is simple. When you die and your life flashes before your eyes we’d like this video to be included in the reel. (Or at least lay a blueprint for how yours might be),” says the band. “Fast and furious is one’s life when betrayed. And in a flash, your whole life before you: everyone you’ve ever known, everything you’ve been brave enough to feel – extinguished in a twinkle of clarity,” they continue.

With the “Van Goes” video and EELS as a whole, there’s the sense that Being Dead are strangers to all that is banal – there is always fun to be had, a little mischievous magic waiting around the corner, if you know how to find or make it.
