NYC Rock artist Des Rocs has released a new version and video for “In the Night,” featuring Underoath, from his forthcoming deluxe album, Dream Machine: The Lucid Addition out October 11, 2024 on Sumerian Records.

The new version of “In the Night” not only marks the first collaboration between Des Rocs and Underoath, but is also his first collaboration with another artist.

Des Rocs says:

We do such different things while at the same time drawing on a similar sense of urgency and intensity. It was so exciting to try to achieve the same emotional response through such different means.

The video was directed by photographer Mark Seliger known for his work with Rolling Stone as Chief Photographer where he shot over 188 covers for the magazine. Seliger captures a “gritty yet pristine backdrop of New York City.”

Seliger comments:

The intersection of a rich song and an artist who is also a magnetic performer is rare. Knowing Des for the last couple years gave me a direct connection not only with the power of his storytelling, but the depth of his emotional intelligence.

Following Des Rocs’ second headline European tour this year, beginning September 20 in Hamburg, Germany, he will playing a special hometown show as the final date of his Dream Machine tour, in NYC @ National Sawdust on October 17th, 2024.
