WE HAVE BAND SHARE POST-INTERNET INSPIRED VIDEO FOR ‘SOMEONE’
THIRD ALBUM MOVEMENTS DUE OUT APRIL 28TH ON NAIVE
We Have Band share the video for current single ‘Someone.’ It was directed by Zaiba Jabbar (Melody’s Echo Chamber – Crystalized) who wanted to create a ‘3D collage with a post-internet aesthetic.’ The band were captured via an Xbox Kinnect sensor and HD Alexa camera, filmed from 14 different angles, resulting in a video game 3D avatar image effect.
The video follows the recent announcement of their live return with dates across the UK and Europe, including a London show at Oslo Hackney on 20th May and the Ruby Lounge in Manchester on 4th May. They have also been announced to play this year’s Liverpool Sound City on 3rd May. The shows are in support of their third album MOVEMENTS, which was co-produced by Tim Goldsworthy (DFA / LCD Soundsystem) and Tom of We Have Band. It is released on 28th April 2014, through Naive.

‘Someone’ is available to download now via iTunes followed by a remix bundle on March 30th. Pre-order here.
ABOUT THE ALBUM:
New album MOVEMENTS is 11 songs conceived in their east London basement studio, produced by band member Tom Wegg-Prosser with additional glitter added by Tim Goldsworthy (DFA Records, LCD Soundsystem, Unkle, Mo’ Wax). It is music from the sweaty hearts of husband and wife Tom and Dede and band mate Darren Bancroft. WHB toured their previous releases intensely, and now they are taking it back to the dance floor – the place that inspired them to make music together in the first place.
MOVEMENTS celebrates the sacred union of beat and lyric. When Darren sings on ‘You Only’, “Your movements stayed with me all day long, your mind was always on mine” it is the Moog line working with the vocal melody that stays with you. Dede’s assertion on ‘Burning On My Lips’ that, “Standing in the line, first to lose my mind, don’t tell me that it’s wrong, this is where I belong” is delivered with a conviction that the kick drum stamps out with every pulse. It is that repetitious, powerful mantra that makes MOVEMENTS a record impossible not to feel, impossible not to move to. The record that the band always set out to make.
