New York, NY (Top40 Charts) InVogue Records/Warner
Music Canada recording artists Courage My Love have today debuted the official music video for "
Stereo" on www.sheshredsmag.com. "
Stereo" is the first single from the band's forthcoming full-length debut album Synesthesia, scheduled for release on Friday, February 3, 2017. The album is available for pre-order beginning today. Fan's pre-ordering Synesthesia will instantly receive downloads for the album's first single, "
Stereo" and the album track "Animal Heart." Fans can also pre-order the physical CD or vinyl in a variety of bundles including shirts, hats, posters and more from the band's webstore.
The video concept for "
Stereo" was a collaboration between the band and director Emma Higgins who had previously worked with the group's video for "Kerosene."
"Getting to work with Emma Higgins again was a huge win for us, because we know what she is capable of as a director," says singer-guitarist Mercedes Arn-Horn. "We talked over the phone and sent a ton of images back and forth; colour palettes, old TV screens, rotary phones, sunsets, you name it. Finally we all found a vibe that worked for us and what we felt was a visual representation of what we wanted people to imagine when they heard the song."
Recorded in Toronto at Noble Studios and Pocket Studios, Synesthesia introduces a new arsenal of sounds for the Kitchener, Ontario, based trio who have made a name for themselves and built a strong following on a number of tours across North
America and Europe.
Defined as a blending of the senses where the stimulation of one sense leads to an automatic, involuntary reaction in another, like hearing in colour, Synesthesia was titled to reflect Courage My Love's newfound stylistic maturity.
Courage My Love were first discovered at a 2010
Battle of the Bands in Stratford, Ontario. The band's independently produced video for the song "
Bridges" amassed over 2.8 million views.
Director Kevin Smith (Silent Bob) was among the many fans that had discovered their music. The band signed with Warner
Music Canada in 2011 and in 2012 Alternative Press Magazine pegged them as one of the bands to watch that year. In 2014, the band's first two EPs, For Now and Becoming, earned them a 2014 JUNO Awards nomination for Breakthrough Group of the Year and later that summer Courage My Love joined the Vans Warped Tour across North America.
