LA via Italy indie-pop outfit, Parkshores, have just dropped their latest single ‘Limousine (Die At The Top)’, which perfectly encapsulates the unique genre-blending sound and aesthetic to be found on their upcoming EP, inspired by a variety of styles, including indie, electronic, k-pop and trap.
“It defines not just a message but the aesthetic we are looking forward to representing, that is the one of the future. ‘Limousine’ is a song that speaks about the multiple streams of thoughts you have when you are just done with college. The need of finding an occupation eventually as soon as possible, the indirect need of finding validation in your career with status objects like a car, a house, online presence, your outfit and more, but most importantly how people around you will influence your decisions that will put the foundation for your future career and what person you decide to be.”
“‘Limousine’ is a song that speaks about the multiple streams of thoughts you have when you are just done with college.”
Produced in their college dorm just before finishing college, the track was later remastered by Grammy award-winning master and mixer, Chris Allgood at The Lodge studios in New York.
With the intention of immersing the listener into their own dimension and creating a unique language and style, the accompanying video was created by the band in video game software, Unreal Engine, and captures the story behind the track. The main character in the video, a young businessman, looking for an output of freedom, “happens to call Parkshores’ and is being teleported to another dimension where he meets many new friends that went through the same painful process of finding themselves. Everything happens in a space that is at the boundary between physical and digital, projecting us in the future where space is expanded on the web.
“‘Limousine’ was initially called ‘Die At the Top’, as the chorus mentions. With ‘Die At The Top’ we want to underline the fact that great achievements and fame also implies a lot of personality changes and facing yourself continuously, dealing with existential crisis and mental health.”
Expressing their music through an artistic approach that englobes multiple media, the band have also just released multiple NFTs, which are available now at Foundation.
‘Limousine’ is out now.
