New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Danish electro/goth indie rock trio Nelson Can are pleased to reveal the video for their latest single 'Madness', out now via Alcopop! Records on all good digital service providers.

Filmed by photographer Sebastian Buur and directed by the band, the video was shot in a large nature reserve just outside Copenhagen called Amager Fælled. "It's huge, and it's a great place to go if you want to be alone or just clear your mind for a second," say the band of their connection to the location.

"Am I mad?—With this video we aim to show a naive but also self-reflecting perspective of mad love," they continue, on the inspiration behind the visuals. "Some people are able to keep a straight face and seem completely sane and harmless, even though everything inside them is chaos, and they are in fact about to go mad. It's not easy to be that person, and it is not easy to be in love with them either. We've all met these people at some point, but who has ever admitted being the mad one?"

The track is the third single from their recently announced forthcoming album, with the band today revealing that the record will be titled LP2: So Long Desire, and released on 31st January 2020, also via Alcopop! Records.

New sonic territory for the trio, 'Madness' draws on references including St. Vincent, The Knife, The Kills, and Siouxsie and the Banshees, presenting novel, heavy electronic sounds stitched together in Nelson Can's own inimitable rhapsody of genres. A three-act sound performance full of contrasting textures and moods, 'Madness' flows between the light, melodic sound of insanity and the suffocating darkness of intense bass and drums, until the perceived voices in the head of the song's protagonist completely take over.

Commenting on the track, bassist Signe SigneSigne says: "'Madness' is the first song from the new record that we completed. We recorded it several times until we eventually surrendered to the frenzy and just let the song get as contrasting and messed up as the unhealthy love we were trying to portray."

Drummer Maria Juntunen continues on the lyrical themes of the single: "A love that starts out so innocent and beautiful can suddenly turn 180 degrees and bring out the worst in people, and it can be hard to get away again. Everyone can get trapped in an unhealthy love; madness is everywhere."

Forthcoming new record LP2: So Long Desire will be Nelson Can's first album in six years, and their maturation as both musicians and songwriters in the interim can be heard strikingly in the evolution of their new music.

"The boundaries of our sound are constantly expanding, and we've worked with so many more instruments and ideas to create a more electronic sound in the making of the upcoming record. Exploring our sound that way has been really rewarding," explains vocalist Selina Gin.

The new music comes alongside the recently announced news of two Danish headline concerts in January 2020, taking the band to ever-greater heights as they play in the biggest venues of their career to date (see below for listings).

LP2: So Long Desire is released 31st January 2020 via Alcopop! Records

More information:

LP2: So Long Desire is the band's latest release since EP3, released in 2017 and springboarding the band to notoriety both domestically and abroad, with singles like 'Break Down Your Walls', 'Miracle' and 'Move Forward' frequently played on UK radio stations BBC Radio One and BBC 6music, and Denmark's domestic P6 and P3, where 'Break Down Your Walls' was also selected as Track of the Week.

The period marked a major breakthrough for the band, leading to a string of sold-out concerts in their native Denmark, culminating with a packed appearance at Roskilde Festival 2018, where over 6000 fans showed up for their set on the Avalon stage.

Over the last 8 years, Nelson Can have toured Europe extensively, regularly warming-up for internationally acclaimed bands such as Royal Blood and The Black Keys, and had music synced to productions from Lars von Trier's Zentropa Film Company, as well as major international advertising campaigns.

They have been banned in China, remixed by Kasper Bjørke, and appeared on Good Morning Denmark. They've received praise from Rolling Stone Magazine in both the US, Spain and Germany, have been nominated for several awards including the Zulu Awards, the Carl Prize and have even been awarded the National Art Fund's award for their latest poster, which was described as a small "masterpiece".
