Julian Casablancas + The Voids + You
A post on Casablancas’ Facebook page proclaims, “RECRUITMENT BEGINS THIS FALL FOR the IMAQQULÅTE PAÜERLŒRDZ” – aka The Immaculate Powerlords Tour.
Casablancas is continuing to supporting his first studio album with The Voidz, 2014’s Tyranny. Last week his label, Cult Records, released a 13-minute video for the track “Human Sadness.”
He told Rolling Stone that the apocalyptically themed video was inspired by the Titanic’s orchestra, which supposedly kept playing until they drowned – “The world’s gonna end and you decide to play music.”
RS describes the video as a “13-minute head-trip, intertwining different vignettes of desperation, survivalism and heroism all connected by the song.”
Check out the video below, but be warned that with stock images of war and sex, this might not be safe for work.
