Doldrums details new LP Esc and shows a softer side to chaos with "Heater"

"'Heater' is our TV debut, with me, Petra Glynt and CCB ripping it up on a set inspired by sketchy late night talk shows - Esc TV," explains Doldrums' Airick Asher Woodhead of the follow up to lead single "Runnerup". "We shot the video at the Torn Curtain in a night of guru-fuelled mayhem. More soon, stay tuned."

"Lyrically, the theme that runs throughout the album is dehumanization. You have these characters who have been put down or made to feel less than human. The songs are kind of like fables or fairy tales...," continues Woodhead of Esc as a whole. "The most psychedelic thing that can happen to someone is when an abstraction they’ve created becomes real. It’s one thing for artists to flex their conceptions of self within a digital space, but for politicians to do it, when there are lives and jobs at stake, it is another thing entirely."

Majical Cloudz's Matthew Otto has mixed the album, Doldrums' third in total. The new long-player follows 2015's The Air Conditioned Nightmare and debut LP Lesser Evil.
