Possibly it might have been just a little too on-the-nose, however there aren’t any moths within the new video for the monitor “Like Moths,” from Wisconsin post-black metallic quartet Corridoré. There are are nonetheless plenty of close-up scenes of cowboys getting thrown from bulls, intermingled with reside pictures of the band performing in what appears to be like like a rehearsal studio. And the music’s quiet piano-based coda is an entire different vibe altogether with pictures of what seem like mannequins in a room full of elaborate chandeliers. As esoteric because it all appears, the visuals—courtesy of director Jorge Torres Torres (Modest Mouse, Lamb of God, Imperial Triumphant)—do appear to suit the nine-minute monitor, which matches from pensive and moody to heavy and sludgy and again to quiet and calm. The band—Eric Andraska (bass/vocals), Matt Allen (guitars/vocals), Russell Emerson Corridor (guitars/vocals), Nick Bartley (drums)—is extraordinarily proficient in constructing layers, each instrumentally and dynamically. “Like Moths” is taken from Corridoré’s upcoming full-length, Abandon.
Abandon was recorded and blended by Dustin Sisson at Blast Home Studios in Madison WI, with further recording by guitarist/vocalist Russell Emerson Corridor. It was mastered by Carl Saff in Chicago IL, and is about for launch on vinyl, CD, cassette and digitally through Hypaethral Data on August 22.

Bassist/vocalist Eric Andraska had this to say in regards to the monitor:
“I wrote the lyrics to this music serious about how, ‘like moths,’ we’re drawn in the direction of ‘the sunshine,’ irrespective of how a lot we struggle it. I used to be caught in a rut serious about the previous. However I ultimately got here to the conclusion that a lot of that needed to be left behind. It’s in regards to the harsh dichotomy of getting to go ahead with ‘our hearts open extensive,’ but in addition acknowledging that we’ve given up and it’s certainly ‘for the final time.’”
