Hawthorne Heights Release Video For 'Just Another Ghost'

Hawthorne Heights have released the new music video for 'Just Another Ghost'. The track is the second single from Bad Frequencies, which is due out April 27 via Pure Noise Records. Singer and Guitarist JT Woodruff shares “‘Just Another Ghost’ is a song about floating through life, and the anxiety that comes with the feeling that life is passing you by.  One second you are having the time of your life, and the next second you feel all alone.  Your mood can go from euphoria to panic, until you eventually feel you aren't even there, or you are invisible.”

Directed by Benny Gagliardi, the video features the band performing in two extremely different locations to create the feeling of being in different worlds.  On the video, Woodruff continues, “We wanted to have a video that matched that feeling and emotion, which is why we shot in two entirely different locations. We put flyers on the wall at Slidebar from life changing shows that each member of HH personally went to when we were growing up.  Then to capture the sadness and loneliness we drove out to Slab City California in a location that was perfectly isolation, like in a dream.  We wanted it to look like two entirely different worlds, because that's how life can feel sometimes.  Anxiety is powerful, and we wanted to capture that raw feeling.”

The album was produced by Hawthorne Heights along with Nick Ingram, and mixed by Cameron Webb (NOFX, Social Distortion). The band previously worked with Ingram on the Hurt EP as well as Webb for ‘Push Me Away’ which was released last summer ahead of their full run on the Vans Warped Tour.

DeLaurentis Is Big Part Of A Big Sun

This new single is taken from DeLaurentis’ upcoming EP, Big Part Of A Big Sun, to be released on April 13. Between the vocal works of Laurie Anderson and the cinematic universe of Lana Del Rey, DeLaurentis’ influences are nurtured by Ryuichi Sakamoto’s and Jóhann Jóhannsson's film scores, Brian Eno’s synths, as well as Max Richter's work.

In an electronica pop cinematic style, DeLaurentis’ music is a mixture of organic sounds, sound design and electronic textures. Her songs are built up like a screenplay, with introduction, exposition, developments, climax, and ending. For each song, her goal is to portray the main character through the use of her vocals as the central instrument.

In February 2018, her new single, ‘A Big Part Of A Big Sun’, was used almost in full in a key scene of the TV show, How To Get Away With Murder,  on ABC in America. For this awesome video, DeLaurentis decided to work with directors AB/CD/CD (Lily Allen, Franz Ferdinand, Yves Saint Laurent), convinced by their originality and stylistic work. The collaboration with these two directors flourished into a surprising and unexpected audiovisual work of art, painting the way to a cinematic experience reflecting the intense emotions exuding from the song.  

The audience is plunged into an off-beat scenario, a mise en abyme where surrealism and 1980s science fiction meet, and one can even hear a far-off re-interpreted line from the John Carpenter movie, They Live. Lost in this world between fiction and the absurd, where all the norms of our own reality are questioned, we ask ourselves: Are we the subject of this film? Do the heroes of movies truly die? What character do we identify with? What is our relationship to the other person and to difference?
