Bear Of Bombay Released New Single And Video “Phony Love”

Between kosmische rhythms and explosions of color and melody, Bear Of Bombay is the solo project of Milanese multi-instrumentalist Lorenzo Parisini.

Available on all digital platforms as of today, September 6, 2024, Phony Love is the third single off his upcoming new album “PsychoDreamElectroGaze” which will be released on September 20, 2024 via labels Waddafuzz, Shoredive, No Me Escucho Records and I Dischi del Minollo.

Here, the 80s new wave electro pop of Pet Shop Boys and Depeche Mode combines with noise saturations with a post-punk flavor and a distinct kraut attitude. The music video depicts poisonous love as a monothematic hallucination through the use of acid colors and aggressive effects. A frightening, unpleasant love, tied to a gaze from which it longs to escape, as if trapped. A trip into an emotionality characterized by lucid dreaming, dark attraction, and rejection. The video’s main character recalls Nuestra Señora de la Santa Muerte, a lovely being on the boundary between the living and the dead who fascinates, ensnares, and terrorizes.

The track was produced and recorded by Bear Of Bombay, co-produced and partially recorded at Casamedusa Studios (Milan) by Francesco Campanozzi. It was later mixed and mastered in London by James Aparicio (Spiritualized, Mogwai, Depeche Mode, Liars, Nick Cave, Cult Of Dom Keller).
