Netherlands-based rockers Drive by Wire send along a friendly reminder of their even friendlier fuzz with their new video for “Kerosine Dreams,” taken from the 2015 long-player The Whole Shebang (review here), which didn’t let the fact that it was so desert-hued in its tones stop it from setting a moody, hazy vibe. The video also plays out a smoky sensibility, with vocalist Simone Holsbeek surrounded by manipulated footage of psychedelic swirls or the band — which continues to have maybe four or maybe five members — playing out in silhouette by lamplight, fire light, whatever it happens to be.

Drive by Wire continue to celebrate a decade together this year, and though they’re three albums deep with The Whole Shebang, there’s a fresh feeling to the record with the blend of laid back groove and more driving riffs. It’s an easy record to dig for the converted, and “Kerosine Dreams” represents it well. It was the single they released before The Whole Shebang actually came out, too, so clearly they believe in the track, its references to Queens of the Stone Age in the guitar and in the whispered backing vocals, and with a hook so strong, it’s little wonder. That’s not to take anything away from the rest of what surrounds, but the song legitimately stands out.

The band have a couple more tour dates booked for their anniversary tour over the next few months. Those follow the video, which you’ll find on the player below.
