Speaking of the single, frontman Johnny Whitney shares:
“The custom cardboard instruments come courtesy of Cardboard Sessions, a collaboration between SIGNAL EXP and Ernest Packaging, proving even the disposable can refuse to disappear quietly.
The video was filmed in the legendary Studio One at EastWest Studios in Los Angeles, where artists from Frank Sinatra and Michael Jackson to The Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley, and Adele have recorded.
‘King Death’ is a really simple story about a woman who skips bail and is on the run. Someone who fights back with absolutely no leverage against the certainty of being turned into chum. It’s about nihilism—recognizing you have no chance at survival but choosing to fight anyway. It’s an ode to everyone living in their car, bleaching their roots in a truck stop bathroom, refusing to disappear quietly.”
