This marks their first proper headline tour since 2019, just before the world descended into unprecedented chaos. With a swathe of postponed shows now completed behind them, and their creative ideas born over the pandemic now crystallized into their most compelling record to date, ‘ENDLESS’ promises to serve as an emphatic conclusion to the tumultuous past few years, ushering in a new chapter for the band and igniting a fresh wave of thrilling prospects.
Accompanying the album and tour announcement is the explosive release of the second single, ‘BISEXUAL AWAKENING’, along with a provocative music video certain to turn heads and raise eyebrows. Check it out above!
Written between 2020 and 2022, ‘ENDLESS’ represents a significant milestone for CLOWNS. During these isolated times, the period forced the band to fully appreciate the importance of in-person rehearsals and studio time to feel connected to their music. As the early home demos unfolded, a powerful theme of immortality emerged in the music, capturing their unyielding determination to persevere and adapt to a rapidly changing world. The concept of immortality naturally revealed itself, first bubbling subconsciously in the band’s creative hive mind and eventually taking centre stage in the album’s narrative. ‘ENDLESS’ delves into uncharted sonic territories, incorporating elements of 80s heavy metal, new wave, and analogue synthesizers.
Tickets to the shows are on sale now here.
