British alternative art-rock band\u00a0Shape Of Water<\/strong>\u00a0will release their new full-length album entitled\u00a0Great Illusions<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0on June 12, 2020, via Eclipse Records. The ten-song album was produced by\u00a0Paul Reeve<\/strong>\u00a0(Muse, Beta Band, Supergrass) with\u00a0Sky Van Hoff<\/strong>\u00a0(Rammstein, Kreator, Caliban) mixing the singles, “Not All the Things” and “Scar”.
\u00a0
Great Illusions<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0was written by the band during 2018 and it deals mainly with the misconception of human feelings, politics, and society. This is clearly evident with the first single “The World Is Calling Me” which talks about war and the global supremacy of world superpowers that spread democracy with bombs. These songs are also deeply provocative. This may be best explained with the song “Not All the Things” which tells a story of Humpty Dumpty killing himself, but it is an analogy of unwanted fatherhood which ends with emotional detachment and guilt. The third single is a bit more personal, with “Scars” being written about the invisible scars left between lovers after ending a long-term relationship. See below for a full track list of the album\u2026
\u00a0
Shape Of Water<\/strong>\u00a0have also revealed their first music video from the album, for the first single “The World Is Calling Me<\/strong>“. The video was directed by\u00a0Kai Ohio<\/strong>\u00a0and is about a lonely boy living in a world where zombies and humans live together. He\u2019s not happy about this and the only thing he can still enjoy, is attending his favorite band’s gig that evening. He walks to the venue while ignoring the apocalypse unfolding around him, but when he gets to the show something happens\u2026 Watch it right now at\u00a0this location<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Filming this video was hard work, but very rewarding and fun”<\/em> says vocalist Rox Capriotti<\/strong>. “We shot in two different locations over a span of two days. Day one was easy because we had a small crew and only a few scenes to film. The second day however was very difficult for the crew and the extras. Everyone had to wake up early in the morning and prepare for a full day of filming.”<\/em> Guitarist Luca De Falco<\/strong> continues, “We had to dress everyone and get all the zombie make up done on time to shoot the scenes. The schedule was fast-paced and somewhat hectic. The main scene where we are playing in the club, was actually filmed outdoors in freezing cold weather! It even started to snow that afternoon. It was all worth it though and we thank all the people involved because in the end, we’ve got a masterpiece!”<\/em>
