Graveyard Post “Breathe In, Breathe Out” Video; 6 Preorder Available
So at this point two tracks have been made public from the forthcoming Graveyard full-length, 6. The first one, “Twice,” arrived in a video with the album announcement, and was a burner. Released just today, “Breathe In, Breathe Out” — a handy reminder if e’er there was one — is the second, and its melancholy will be recognizable to those who’ve followed the progression of the Swedish band through their more recent output. Granted, their still-latest-as-of-today album is 2018’s Peace (review here), so perhaps ‘recent’ with some context, but “Breathe In, Breathe Out” still tracks with the duality that has emerged in their approach.
Two ends of their style, hmm? One is the uptempo boogie, all-go shove topped with high-register howls from guitarist Joakim Nilsson, and the other is the downer soulful blues represented by “Breathe In, Breathe Out” as the four-piece begin to reveal some of the scope of 6. Much of the record works to find a middle-ground, or at least a fluid balance between these two poles, and while Graveyard are a popular enough act that there are people who prefer one side or the other — the “old stuff” vs. the “new stuff,” as opposed I guess to bands who aren’t so big and can do whatever they want without catching shit for it on the internet?; the world is weird — but as they have done since 2011’s landmark Hisingen Blues (review here), they remain true to all aspects of their expression, and on an apparently pretty windy day so covered with clouds that it turned the picture black and white, they took to the shoreline to make their new video.
No, Liv Ullmann and Bibi Andersson don’t show up, but there are some hints of Bergman just the same. And I assume the bearded, pipe-smoking fisherman was just hanging out by the docks when they got there. Check out the video below, you can’t miss him.
