Multi-million streaming indie-pop duo slenderbodies have released a video for their recently released single “heartbeat.” The video features two brothers who are living to survive in a heavy gang-stricken area of Mexico; children living in extreme conditions, loss, and grief… an extremely powerful exploration of the human condition.
The track is apart of their upcoming anticipated release are we? set to release this Friday, May 21.
“this video is deeply emotional, raw, beautiful, and ultimately gut-wrenching. diretor savannah setten brought us this story after hearing heartbeat, and filmed it in a neighborhood called La Indepencia, in the heart of Monterrey, MX. after receiving the final cut, our perspective was expanded regarding socio-political and economic issues in parts of the world that we are not familiar with. as two creators coming from a place of privilege, we deliberated on how we would share this.
In addition to the video and are we? release, the band is hosting a one-off show at BELLY UP in San Diego, CA, livestream. Tickets and more information for the livestream are available, here.
