Dream pop duo Beach House have released a new music video for their song “Black Car.” The song is from their recently released album 7, which received critical acclaim with mxdwn giving it “High Fidelity” calling it “their deepest and darkest yet.” It follows their 2015 albums Depression Cherry and Thank Your Lucky Stars. This is the fourth song released from the album, following “Dark Spring,” “Lemon Glow,” and “Dive.” It is also the third video released from the band following “Dark Spring” and “Dive.

According to Under The Radar, the new video was directed by band member Victoria Legrand’s brother Alistair Legrand. The black and white video shows a car driving through different parts of a city by itself as if it were possessed. It showcases every aspect of the car from it’s engine to the interior, making it look like a haunting car commercial but one to not skip.

The band will be heading out on the road in support of the new album, kicking off July 26th in Philadelphia, PA. The tour will hit cities all across North America and Europe including Los Angeles, New York, London, and Manchester before concluding in Dublin October 20th.
