Millencolin have shared a brand new music video for rousing album track ‘Bring Me Home’, taken from their recently released eighth record True Brew, out now via Epitaph.
Bringing their infamous mascot to life, ‘Bring Me Home’ see’s the Millencolin bird immortalised in a crosstown adventure, roaming the streets of LA, New York, Berlin, Paris and the band’s hometown of Örebro, Sweden, with nothing but his skateboard and the open road ahead.
“The Millencolin bird has been with us all along in our artwork, symbolizing the melancholy side of the band. He is an angry and misunderstood fellow. We finally brought him to life and are bringing him home!” Guitarist Erik Ohlsson explains.
Watch ‘Bring Me Home’ here:
Sounding both timeless and modern, True Brew is a record that could only come out of four adults who have been side by side since they were teenagers, who have weathered changing politics, shifting cultures and the rise and fall of all kinds of musical trends. And True Brew sees them just as unified as they were when they formed Millencolin, roughly 23 years, seven albums and 1,500 live shows ago. Hence the band’s in-house and in control approach to their eighth album – recorded entirely by guitarist Mathias Färm and produced by vocalist/bassist Nikola Sarcevic at the bands own Soundlab Studios, before turning to Jens Bogren at Fascination Street for mixing duties. Not to mention all of the band’s artwork, photography and music videos created by guitarist Erik Ohlsson.
Most bands never make it this far in their careers, at least not without a handful of ex-members, lawsuits and various skeletons in their respective closets. And one listen to True Brew will tell you that Millencolin are back, they’re as strong as they’ve been in a decade or more and that they’ve never lost that fire. Catch the band live through Europe this coming May and June and see them at Slam Dunk in the UK from May 23rd on the below dates.
