Independent rock band BRKN LOVE premiered its latest single and video this month.
The band premiered its new single, ‘Dead Weight‘ and the song’s video Nov. 11. It comes more than five months after the band premiered its take on Post Malone’s single, ‘Allergic.’
The musical arrangement featured in BRKN LOVE’s new single presents a decidedly garage/stoner rock style approach and sound. It is comparable to songs from the likes of Jet, Royal Blood, and Queens of the Stone Age.
Songwriter Justin Benlolo said of the song’s lyrical theme that it centers on the matter of people’s mental health.
“In a sense, the song is really about the dangers of your own mind and the places that it goes when you least expect it,” he said. “Sometimes it feels good to lean into the darkness and know that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. That being said, we’vebeen dying to get this out and show the world what the next step of BRKN LOVE sounds like!”
The video for ‘Dead Weight’ finds the band performing its new single in an abandoned house. The contrast of the bright light coming into the house against the darkness inside the house is meant to help illustrate and translate the message that Benlolo discussed.
