Kendra Sheetz Brooklyn’s heavy power pop weirdos Onesie has released the video for their new single “Anemone In Lemonade.” The song will be featured on the band’s upcoming full-length, Liminal Hiss, which will be released on August 18th via Totally Real Records, Pillow Sail Records, and Kool Kat Music.
The video, filmed and edited by songwriter/guitarist/singer Ben Haberland, finds the pixelated band members miming against dozens of nightmarish two second AI-generated videos created from the song’s lyrics. Note celebrity guest appearances from Ed Koch, Regis Philbin, and Tom Cruise.
Haberland had the following to say about the new song:
“Musically this one is peppy and forward moving, maybe because NYC was not when I was chiseling out these songs. I could at least keep my imagination moving. I recall strumming in an open tuning and stumbling upon a progression that sounded hopeful but sort of…resigned to failure as well. The quiet breakdown came from sliding the same weird shape up and down the neck. It has nothing to do with the rest of the song but I like that it creates a sudden, eerie tension. Then we go into a stadium rock zone with a spacious, crunchy riff. The song is a good example of something I really wanted to improve this time around- getting the vocals bright, upfront, and punchy in the mix. (producer) Gary Atturio and I really tried to match the mood of the song with the vocal takes. We’ve been opening with Anemone lately since it’s pretty dynamic and really covers the range of different modes we play in a set.”
