Right on the heels of the release of their new album ‘Liquor’, Arizona indie-rockers Lydia are serving up a new music video for ‘Let It Cover Me Up’. The strikingly eerie, darkly lit visuals and seductive synths make for a baroque twin of a sequel to their previous video for ‘Sunlight.’ Frontman Leighton Antelman says of ‘Let It Cover Me Up’,’This is one of the first songs we finished from Liquor, which is kind of ironic because it was one of the most challenging to make. We put a whole bunch of work into this one – we produced it ourselves – and it really helped set the tone for where we wanted to go with the record.’
Indeed, the band’s seventh full length sees the band maintaining their DIY punk spirit while exploring a new expansive, emotive sonic territory. ‘Liquor’ is now available via Sony imprint Weekday Records, and also includes a track featuring Weekday labelmate Lauren Ruth Ward.
Following the release, Lydia will be heading out on a massive US-wide tour this summer. The band will be joined by labelmates Cherry Pools as well as fellow Arizonans Jared & the Mill.
