Austin’s Being Dead is an unpredictable group of multi-instrumentalist best friends who this week have shared their new single, “Van Goes,” which follows the release of “Firefighters” from their forthcoming album EELS. EELS will be Being Dead’s second studio album and is set for release on September 27 via Bayonet. Today’s new track arrives with a music video that you can find below, along with Being Dead’s tour dates.

Today’s moody track “Van Goes” opens in obscurity, with the spoken word lines: “I’m not trying to be rude or any of that—this is for your own good and I’m not going to be traumatized because you want to be dumb.”

In a press release, the band added this on their music video: “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). 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.”
