25 years and 10 genre-defining albums into their storied career, GRAMMY\u00ae-nominated Between the Buried and Me return their most immersive and eclectic record yet:\u00a0The Blue Nowhere<\/em>, out Sept. 12 via InsideOutMusic. The release also serves as the band’s debut for the label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Known for their conceptual albums, vocalist Tommy Rogers explains that the 10-track collection “exists in a world that’s not tied to a storyline. It’s more about a feeling, where the songs live for me.” He describes the lyrical approach to\u00a0The Blue Nowhere<\/em>\u00a0as “journal entries, fleeting and introspective thoughts \u2013 chaotic at times, depending on the music.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band offers fans a first feel for the new album with today’s release of “Things We Tell Ourselves In The Dark” (https:\/\/btbam.lnk.to\/thingswetellourselvesinthedark<\/a>) and its accompanying\u00a0video<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Director Miles Skarin shares insight into the clip: “For ‘Things We Tell Ourselves In The Dark,’ we wanted to create the hotel from the album concept and artwork \u2013 we 3D-modeled the hotel based on the artwork and began to create shots of it at different times of day. Marigold is a theme across the record, so we have a scene where lots of marigold petals start to cover the hotel. This was quite an intense particle simulation that took 17 hours to process and render. We also added surreal elements to the video, including infinite hotel corridors and strange space sequences with the doors to the different rooms in the hotel. We’re really pleased with the final look and hope that everyone enjoys seeing the hotel come to life!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
