The Dandy Warhols have released an A.I.-generated music video for their new single “The Summer of Hate.”
“Musically, ‘The Summer of Hate’ became our homage to the sounds of The Damned, The MC5, and probably a bit of the Stooges in there as well,” said Courtney Taylor-Taylor of THE DANDY WARHOLS via a press release.
He goes on to say, “The record was the manifestation of our desire to hear a record of heavy raw punk and metal guitar riffs handled in a way that we felt was cooler than the standard knuckle draggin’ man-rock that still tends to dominate a lot of popular culture in America.”
The band’s neon-heavy video premiered today on Brooklyn Vegan and was created entirely by A.I.
“Apparently A.I. felt that what his track is about is a macabre alien hot cave dance party/’60s mini motorcycle rally, and it pretty much nailed it,” he laughs. “A.I. is like a brilliant child, complete with ego and defense mechanisms. If you try to control it too much, it will rebel by doing some fucked up shit to your project.”
The Dandy Warhols head out for some West Coast and Southwest tour dates starting October 6th in Tempe, AZ with The Black Angels (Queen Kwong opens about half the dates). They’ll also hit Los Angeles, San Francisco, Vancouver, and Dallas, plus numerous other cities before wrapping up with a headlining set at the LEVITATION Festival in Austin, TX on October 28th.
