Pop duo Crocodiles, made up of Brandon Welchez and Charles Rowell, have released the second single, “Love Beyond The Grave,” from their upcoming LP, Upside Down In Heaven, set to be released Friday, April 7 via Lolipop Records. Along with the new song, the duo released a music video for their latest single. Check it out below.
The music video, directed and edited by Kate Clover, features the duo performing the song amidst some skaters and punk kids hanging out around France where the music video was filmed at Quiksilver Studios in St. Jean de Luz. When asked about the track, Rowell shared: “Amidst all the chaos of life there is one certain truth – that we will all die. Being a fan of heavy metal and books by such writers as Anne Sexton and Allen Ginsberg, I find it quite comforting to write about death. I probably have more t-shirts with skulls on them then I do any other article of clothing. I’ve lost many friends and most of my immediate family and the train never stops moving from station to station. The lyrics follow a person who’s scared by the living and revisits past haunts in an attempt to distort normality and find true love with the spirits that inhabit this world; from hometowns to historic street corners.”
In support of their upcoming album, Crocodiles will be embarking North American tour this spring. Find tickets and more information here.
