Beach Fossils have released a new music video, Don’t Fade Away, the lead single from upcoming album Bunny. The full-length is out June 2nd and is produced by the band’s lead singer Dustin Payseur.
In the music video, to match his lo-fi vocals, he suddenly looks into the camera while asking us not to “disappear.” It was directed by Kevin Clark, who has also worked with Billie Eilish’s brother and producer Finneas.
Bunny follows 2017’s Somersault. During the six-year album break, the band reinterpreted eight well-known songs as piano versions and released them in 2021 as “The Other Side Of Life: Piano Ballads”. The New York indie quartet came together in 2009 around Payseur, who had actually planned a solo project, and quickly celebrated their first minor successes.
Since then, the group has actually seemed like a fossil, as they refer to independent music in the true sense: The four belong to the almost extinct who rely on DIY production and manage themselves and publish their songs.
