Exploded View are preparing for the release of their self-titled debut album on August 19th with a video for ‘Orlando‘.
It’s a collaboration between the band and Grandmas, who previously linked up with singer Annika Henderson on her solo single ‘In the City‘.
“The song ‘Orlando’ was written at the end of 2014, and its video was completed shortly before the terrible events in Orlando, FL, in the early hours of June 12th,” Henderson says.
“When the most deadly mass shooting in the United States shook the country, the world and the queer community to its core, as the targets were clearly chosen, simply for being who they were, conducted in a space that has traditionally been one of protection, a safe haven for the queer community for decades: the dance floor.”
Exploded View will be in the UK for August shows at the Green Man Festival and at London’s Shacklewell Arms as part of a European tour.
