Royal Blood Share New Video For Latest Single ‘Limbo’

---

Royal Blood have shared a new video for their latest single ‘Limbo’. Check it out below.

The ‘Limbo’ video continues the engaging and edgy style displayed in the band’s recent visuals for ‘Typhoons’ and ‘Trouble’s Coming’. Echoing the track’s amalgamation of grit and groove. The new video was directed by Joao Retorta – Who’s previously worked with Wolf Alice, Stormzy, Loyle Carner – to create an imaginative story charting the rivalry between two competing biker dance gangs. Both gangs deliver high-energy, larger-than-life moves while clad head-to-toe in biker gear. And while their performances are both fun and frantic, their competitive streak is relentlessly intense.

Talking about the new track previously, the band comments “It is without a doubt the most ambitious and wildest we have allowed ourselves to be and we can’t wait to invite you this far down the rabbit hole with us.”

The track originally premiered as Annie Mac’s Hottest Record in the World, the third consecutive track from the band to do so. Check out the new video here:

‘Limbo’ is taken from Royal Blood’s upcoming third album of the same name, which is set to release on April 30 via Warner Records. The new single is available on a limited edition black 7″ vinyl, featuring an etching of a lyric on the b-side, and will be available to order from here.

Here’s ‘Typhoons’ tracklist:

1. ‘Trouble’s Coming’
2. ‘Oblivion’
3. ‘Typhoons’
4. ‘Who Needs Friends’
5. ‘Million & One’
6. ‘Limbo’
7. ‘Either You Want It’
8. ‘Boilermaker’
9. ‘Mad Visions’
10. ‘Hold On’
11. ‘All We Have Is Now’

The new album was largely produced by themselves, with Queens Of The Stone Age frontman Josh Homme producing ‘Boilermaker’, and multiple Grammy Award winner Paul Epworth producing ‘Who Needs Friends’ and contributed additional production to ‘Trouble’s Coming’.

‘Typoons’ will be available from the official Royal Blood store in a deluxe vinyl edition, which will be limited to 8000 copies worldwide. The deluxe edition features a translucent pink / opaque black 12” housed in a metallic foil gatefold sleeve, and will be packaged with an exclusive 7” single containing the extra track ‘Space’ and an etched b-side. It will be completed by a large format booklet and an individually numbered 12” art print with alternative art that’s exclusive to this set. ‘Typhoons’ is now available to pre-order here.

The new album will also be available on Blue vinyl from indies, and Pink vinyl from Amazon. A picture disc is also available.

Talking about the first single ‘Trouble’s Coming’, Mike Kerr revealed that the song was a real turning point for the third album, saying “It was the moment something started to click – where we started playing over those much more rigid dance beats. The breakthrough was realizing that there was real common ground between that and what we’d done before. It’s that AC/DC aspect: where the quality that makes the riffs seem so cutting is because of that beat. Although on the surface we were stepping outside what we’d done before, it didn’t feel at all unnatural; it felt like we were returning to music we’d loved from the very beginning: Daft Punk, Justice, things that were really groove-orientated. It was all about the beat. It felt like familiar territory, but something we’d censored in ourselves.”

Drummer Ben Thatcher adds “When we first broke out, there were only two elements to the band. I didn’t just have to carry the beat, I’d have to color in the changes. We were both bearing a lot of freight, sonically. But this was a different challenge; less varied, maybe, but so satisfying as a drummer.”
