Hear Bruce Lamont Channel Ennio Morricone, Suicide on Hypnotic New Song

If you aren't fully familiar with the name Bruce Lamont, then you may tangentially know the experimental musician from his work with Yakuza, Bloodiest, Wrekmeister Harmonies or Corrections House. The Chicago-based vocalist and saxophone player has a stellar reputation within the heavy music world for dabbling in several different genres, pushing the envelope yet always being rooted in dark, mysterious and heavy music.

The trend continues with his latest entry: "Goodbye Electric Sunday," from his new record Broken Limbs Excite No Pity (due out 3/23), the video for which we're premiering today. The song features a decidedly gothic approach that's perfectly suited for the urban landscape depicted in the video. Leaning heavily on a minimal drum loop and a guitar tremolo that sounds lifted from a Dick Dale or Ennio Morricone record, Lamont's new song sounds like a lost Nick Cave recording — sexual, minimal yet dense with darkness and subtext and ultimately beautiful and well executed. Think of Cave's slinky hit "Red Right Hand" but with a stronger industrial touch.  

"The video was shot by Chicago filmmaker Jess Price who has also videos for Joan of Arc, Oshwa," Lamont said the new visual. "It stars Chicago musician Jason Balla (Ne-Hi, Earring) as he roams the streets in the middle of the night perhaps being followed or looking for a masked figure we like to call "Terry.'"
