Oakland’s FOG LAMP Drop Haunting Synthpunk LP with Video-Single “You Prove Yourself Wrong”

 

Oakland, California’s premiere synth-punks Fog Lamp have released their  sophomore LP Anxious Stargazing on The Bucket Records with their latest  video-single “You Prove Yourself Wrong.” With their refusal to conform to  traditional norms, exemplified by their choice to incorporate a drum  machine instead of a drummer, Fog Lamp continues to push boundaries and  challenge expectations. Their music has garnered praise from both seasoned  goth enthusiasts and newcomers alike. In 2022, Willow House Records  introduced Fog Lamp to the world with their debut album, Conversation?,  showcasing the band's penchant for discordant arrangements and  introspective lyrics. Following this successful debut, The Bucket Records  have unleashed their sophomore effort, Anxious Stargazing, further  solidifying Fog Lamp's presence in the Bay Area punk scene. "We played some  great shows in 2023," says vocalist Aaron. "I like to pick up things in DIY  spaces and dance with them. We played at a vintage clothing store and  danced with a woman’s boot covering my hand. We used it to twirl around the  Valentine’s Day flowers that were hanging from the ceiling. We also opened  for some great bands including Combo, Warp, and Sick Thoughts."

Fog Lamp's latest music video, "You Prove Yourself Wrong," is a haunting  synthpunk creation that defies genre boundaries. Drawing inspiration from  cyberpunk, darkwave, and goth influences, this visually-stunning production  promises to captivate viewers with its surreal imagery and 80's VHS quality
aesthetic. Directed by cinematographers Paul Abueg-Igaz and Niki Selken,  the video transports audiences into a realm where reality and fantasy  intertwine. Live footage of Fog Lamp's electrifying performance sets the  stage, capturing the raw energy and intensity of their music. Against a  backdrop of pulsating beats and ethereal melodies, scenes unfold featuring  technicolor skeletons, their fluorescent hues casting an eerie glow in the  darkness, blurring the lines between the organic and the synthetic. "You
Prove Yourself Wrong" invites viewers on a journey through the depths of  imagination, challenging perceptions and defying expectations at every  turn. Whether you're a die-hard fan of synthpunk or simply intrigued by the  allure of the unknown, Fog Lamp's music video promises an unforgettable  experience that transcends the ordinary.
