Blitz Vega is a band founded by Kav Sandhu (formerly of Happy Mondays) and the late Andy Rourke (The Smiths), and they have returned with a new video for their recent single “Superbrain.”

First released earlier this summer, the single “Superbrain” was originally written in 2020 but only completed in recent months, featuring Rock ‘n Roll, Punk, and Electronica influences.

The lyrics for “Superbrain” grapple with “the uneasy relationship between human creativity and rapidly evolving technology.”

Kav Sandhu says of the video:

It represents the song visually by showing the struggle humans have with technology – how much of our real selves still exist, how much we lose, and what’s left in the end. I think we’re currently on that journey. I guess we’ll see how it all pans out.

Conceived and directed by Blitz Vega’s longtime art director Paul Mulvey, the video takes the song’s subject matter and filters it through a playful lens.

Kav Sandhu adds:

Paul’s like a non-musical member of the band. He came up with the concept, and I loved how it captured everything about the song in a simple way. It’s kinda funny, too. That’s always been the Blitz Vega way – we never want to make things too heavy, even when the songs are dealing with pretty serious ideas.

“Superbrain” precedes Blitz Vega’s forthcoming EP, with more details to come, and two years after the release of their debut album, Northern Gentleman.
