You're not gonna believe this, but there's a new ruggedly artsy post-punk band out of Britain. The Leeds combo Adult DVD have announced their signing to Fat Possum today with the release of the intense (and intensely likable) new single "Real Tree Lee." Over top of a post-DFA backing track built around a relentless strobing synth, Harry Hanson talk-sings about a hard-living character whose path has included drugs, religion, and guns. The band explains:
Lee is a guy that we never want to become, let’s make that clear! This tune goes out to all the blokes who keep it blokey and delve too far into the cretin side of the internet, guys that believe every sub Reddit post they read, dudes that base their entire lives around some bonkers right wing conspiracy and live in fear of 5G. When it comes to Lee, what you see isn’t a what you get, and what you get is much darker than you’d expect.
The "Real Tree Lee" video was directed by Danny Blackburn, Greg Lonsdale, and Matthew Henderson-Newbury. It takes the "tree" thing quite literally. Watch below.
