British duo Sad Night Dynamite have shared "Wake Up Pass Out" as the latest taster of their forthcoming debut album, Welcome The Night.

The track follows on from lead single "Sugabby", and is accompanied alongside a horror-movie of a music video directed by BAFTA-nominated Balázs Simon.

Sad Night Dynamite introduce "Wake Up Pass Out" as “about being stuck in a cycle. I think everyone suffers from this: we are beings of habit, time is relentless, and this can feel claustrophobic. Although there are fleeting messages of desperation throughout, the lyrics are erratic, as if you’re inside someone’s mind whilst it’s racing. The chorus is deliberately shallow and provocative, playing the antagonist - which we love doing, as nobody’s above this and everyone is guilty.”

Director Balázs Simon, meanwhile, comments: “I love the sardonic honesty in Archie and Josh’s music. ‘Wake Up Pass Out’ immediately reminded me of how social media takes our lives over, with the sole goal of grabbing our attention and consuming us. In the end we become our own monsters, and that’s where the idea for the video came from. Am I guilty to say I had the most fun creating something so shallow? It was a crazy project to pull off - from shooting live action to motion-capture, and 3D scanning the guys to covering Tower Bridge and the streets of London. But seeing Sad Night Dynamite spend a whole day glued together in a prosthetic body suit complete with tentacles made up for all the complexity.”

Welcome The Night, will be released on 27 September, and is available to pre-order now.
