We’re thrilled to present to you the video for Caged Animals’ forthcoming single ‘The Sound of Thunder’, self-directed by Vincent Cacchione with Mike McLean. The single will be released on December 16, ahead of a European Tour in early 2014.

The video features Cacchione’s little sister, and Caged Animals’ bass player, Tayla as a 90’s style Goth-Girl living in Millennial Suburbia who gets caught up in a series of mysterious and supernatural events.

‘The Sound Of Thunder’ is an uplifting pop song that advises against giving in to the un-escapable, the idea that we should savor our lives and not be afraid. Inspired by Vin’s friend from Soft Black, (Zachary) Cole Smith, and now lead singer/guitarist for DIIV, and the emotion Cole can create with just a single guitar line. It was his musical-mojo that inspired the searing guitar melody that follows each chorus.

We’re super excited to announce that we’ve signed Idris Vicuña, aka Eyedress, to the Publishing arm of Lucky Number. Idris is a 23 year old artist/writer/producer from Manilla, The Philippines, who is signed for Records to the excellent Abeano imprint of XL.

His forthcoming debut ‘Supernatural’ EP will be released on December 2nd. The lead track from the EP is ‘Nature Trips’ and Dazed have today premiered the video which “takes us on a debauched nightcrawl through red-lit Manila”, accompanied by Death himself. The video was directed by Julius Valledor and edited by Idris.
