Danish electronic duo Pernille Smith-Sivertsen and Esben Nørskov Andersen of Rangleklods are finally back after their epic 2013 debut, Beekeeper. Above is the premiere of first single, “lost u,” off the pair’s upcoming album straitjacket (out 5.18). “Lost u” explores the desperate release of suppressed grief that stems from two beautifully androgynous young lovers realizing they are drifting apart. The chaotic video resonates with the arpeggiator driven beat while Pernille’s ethereal voice conveys the kind of soul-piercing sadness that may occur when you get bored of banging your high school sweetheart and start to explore the overwhelming task of rubbing your genitals elsewhere. Bummer.
Go check out their Scandinavian perfection on tour later this month.
