Yip Deceiver premieres their new video for “Lover”; the video is described as “slightly NSFW”. The song is taken from their album Medallius, which came out September 17, 2013, via New West.
The duo explained the video, “Directed by Brett Vaughn, the clip pairs the all-smiles synth track with a horror movie-inspired visual. As Pierce coos lyrics about being in the throes of love, three crazed doctors chase terrified old people around a poorly lit hospital. There’s a lot of slow-motion gore and the eating of what is most likely human organs. We hope you ate lunch already.”
Yip Deceiver are currently on tour with Atlanta-based rappers Turquoise Jeep and will embark on a tour supporting Electric Six in March.

I got a note that said yesterday BBC’s Steve Lamacq threatened to quit 6music if they didn’t put The Heartbreaks’ song “Absolved” on their playlist, “If that’s a single and it doesn’t get on the 6 Music playlist, I will resign from this radio station”.
The Heartbreaks are Matthew Whitehouse (vocals), Joseph Kondras (Drums), Ryan Wallace (Guitar) and Deaks (Bass), and their forthcoming sophomore album We May Yet Stand A Chance will be out in May, but it will be preceded by their single Hey, Hey Lover, which is due out February 17, 2014.
Look for the Morecambe-based band to headline London’s KOKO this March 21st for Club NME.
