Love songs come in many forms, but only ELECTRIC CALLBOY could turn one into this. Today, the band releases their newest single ‘ The Way You Are‘, one of the most surprising tracks from their upcoming album TANZNEID, arriving next week on 7th August. What begins as an irresistibly catchy late-’90s-inspired boy band love ballad quickly transforms into one of the heaviest songs ELECTRIC CALLBOY have ever written. Blending soaring pop melodies with crushing deathcore brutality, ‘ The Way You Are‘ is a fearless celebration of musical extremes, proving once again that no one blurs genre boundaries quite like ELECTRIC CALLBOY. The accompanying music video starts as a nostalgic late-’90s boy band fantasy before taking a gruesome turn into a blood-soaked nightmare. Romantic, disturbing and unmistakably ELECTRIC CALLBOY. ELECTRIC CALLBOY on ‘The Way You Are’:
“‘The Way You Are’ started with a pretty simple idea: what if the sweetest late-’90s boy band love ballad suddenly turned into one of the heaviest songs we’ve ever written? We loved playing with that contrast, both musically and visually. The result is probably one of the most unexpected songs we’ve ever released, and definitely one of our favourites on TANZNEID.” Stream ‘The Way You Are’ here
The music video premieres here at 3pm BST |
