WATCH: Neck Deep Release Animated Music Video For “I Revolve (Around You)”
From side project to full time band with a record deal – Neck Deep continue to blow the minds of everyone around them
Pop-punk 5-piece, Neck Deep, have just released their latest single with a stellar music video. “I Revolve (Around You)” becomes the fourth single to drop off their upcoming album, All Distortions Are Intentional – due out July 24. All Distortions Are Intentional tells the story of a loner named Jett – who we are first introduced to in their first single “Lowlife” – who lives in Sonderland, a Wonderland-like dimension just trying to find the meaning in it all. In “I Revolve (Around You)” we seem to continue a Jett’s journey in an animated, interglacial kind of way.
This being the band’s first fully animated music video, there was a bit of pressure in ensuring the vision stayed true to the song’s – and album’s – overall themes. Frontman, Ben Barlow, shares, “’I Revolve (Around You)’ is a song about love on a planetary scale. It is one big metaphor, comparing love to the movement of the planets. Picturing love on that scale really makes everything else seem small and insignificant. The song comes at a point of epiphany on the record- the realization that despite life’s trials and tribulations, love conquers all.” The video features [who we can assume] is a space version of our protagonist, out on a space date with a celestial hottie. The duo navigates through space, passing a drive-in [hover up?] movie theater, stopping for a quick fuel up and snacks before finally hyper-driving it to their planet destination. The cosmic connection radiates between our star lovers – with the overall theme of falling deeper in love with your partner that it illuminates space, you can’t help but root for a happy ending.
On the track itself, Barlow stated, “Musically it’s hard hitting and impactful, and actually features one of my favorite ever sections in a Neck Deep song where I got to channel my inner Tom DeLonge [Blink 182/Angels & Airwaves], which for a song about space I feel is pretty fitting!”
“I Revolve (Around You)” joins “Fall”, “When You Know”, and of course “Lowlife” in single teasers for this UK punk band’s fourth studio album. But to make this release extra special, Neck Deep have teamed up with Target to produce an extremely limited one-time pressing of All Distortions Are Intentional, complete with 2 bonus acoustic tracks as well as alternate cover art and packaging. That exclusive CD is currently available for pre-order and can be found in the link below.
This once “silly little band” is now blowing up charts and creating massive waves within the scene. With each tour they embark on attracting a larger crowd, clearly, even the band themselves didn’t realize the impact this one side project would have on people. All Distortions Are Intentional comes out in just one week and with all this hype, it’s gearing up to be Neck Deep’s biggest release yet.
