Stealing Sheep have announced their new album Big Wows alongside a video for new single ‘Joking Me’ which you can watch above.
The video sees the band captured in 8-bit form while computer pop-ups display lyrics from the track. It’s the first of a series of karaoke-style videos made in collaboration with 8-bit video artist Pastel Castle (Emily Garner) to be released alongside the album – their first since 2015’s ‘Not Real’.
The Merseyside trio explained: “Both the song and the video speak a lot about today’s modern culture and how things seem throwaway: love, communication, revealing the disappointments and let downs but also the ephemeral of the delete, trash, emoji digital world. The way you can put up a front on social media, cultivate an imagined life, your best life.”
‘Big Wows’ is out on April 19, 2019 via Heavenly Recordings.The band have also confirmed a 2019 UK tour, including a date at London’s EartH. You can buy tickets for the tour here.
