Nap Eyes release surreal single ‘Dark Mystery Enigma Bird’ ahead of new album
Ahead of their upcoming album The Neon Gate, Nap Eyes has shared their latest single, ‘Dark Mystery Enigma Bird,’ complete with a hand-animated video.
‘Dark Mystery Enigma Bird’ is the final pre-release from The Neon Gate, due October 18, 2024. The song is an imaginative, stream-of-consciousness narrative that weaves surreal images through catchy melodies and intricate arrangements. Nigel Chapman’s vocals for this track were uniquely recorded in a blanket-draped children’s cardboard castle in his parents’ basement, adding to the song’s whimsical nature.
The song is paired with an equally captivating hand-drawn animated video by filmmaker Dr. Cool. The video follows a group of zebras as they escape their truck and embark on a psychedelic journey. Dr. Cool described the inspiration behind the visuals, explaining, “I think that if you’re in the right state of mind, this song could make you shed a single tear… the kind that you get from staring into the sun on the last day of spring break.”
Nap Eyes’ The Neon Gate is set to expand the band’s sonic landscape, and with ‘Dark Mystery Enigma Bird,’ they’ve delivered a track that is as captivating as it is unconventional.
