Alt rockers Dead Poet Society have taken the wraps off their third studio album, “Monarch“. The song “Cold” has just shipped out as the third new single off of that record, with a music video for it available below. The band’s own vocalist/guitarist Jack Underkofler stepped behind the camera to co-direct this new clip alongside Blackwolf Imaging. As for the song, drummer Will Goodroad went on to state of it:
“People today are constantly performing for one another, competing for a place in social hierarchy. We slowly reshape ourselves, cutting away parts of who we are to gain acceptance and validation. Over time, we lose touch with our passions, forget why we do what we do, and stop recognizing who we really are – or what we truly believe, if anything at all. ‘Cold’ is about recognizing that reality and choosing to indulge in it anyway.”
Recording sessions for “Monarch” were overseen by Mutemath frontman Paul Meany, while GRAMMY Award-winner Adam Hawkins (Turnstile, YUNGBLUD) was brought on to mix. Underkofler went on to say the following of what his band set out to achieve with this record:
“We wanted to carve out our own piece of territory. I just wanted to swing for the fences with this one. All the things I felt made us, I wanted to see how much deeper I could go with them and try to boil down the essence of the feeling that makes Dead Poet Society who we are.”
Inviting fans deeper into the album, the group have also launched a new interactive site, The House, where fans can uncover clues and more. Users have already begun to delve into the mysteries, having uncovered a phone number featured on merch in the group’s webstore.
