Ahead of this Friday’s release of Deerhunter’s new album Fading Frontier, the band have today debuted a new track, ‘Living My Life’.

The third track shared by the band follows the mutant funk of ‘Snakeskin’ and luminous single ‘Breaker’. As with ‘Breaker’, Deerhunter kingpin Bradford Cox has taken on directorial duties for the video for ‘Living My Life’. Cox describes it as “macro meditations on geology and botany to observations of afternoon light filtered onto wooden floors. The idea was to have a formless visual that does not conform to the overwhelming cleverness and narrative ambition of most modern videos. Instead we have a sometimes pointless, sometimes ridiculous, and sometimes hypnotically beautiful mess of images and rhythm. The final section of the video, in particular, could be a teenage garage band take on Tarkovsky’s Solaris. Various chemicals and dyes were used to create a liquid fantasia for the song’s transcendent climax.” The video is dedicated to Miles Davis.

Fading Frontier, Deerhunter’s seventh studio album, was written and recorded in the band’s hometown of Atlanta, GA, with production duties shared buy the band (Bradford Cox, Lockett Pundt, Moses Archuleta and Josh McKay) and Ben H. Allen, continuing a collaboration that began with 2010’s acclaimed Halcyon Digest. Fading Frontier also features contributions from Broadcast’s James Cargill and Tim Gane from Stereolab.
