New York City Alternative Rock band King Falcon have released new track and Brooklyn-set video “Nothing Feels Amazing” out now. Through the song, the band “aims to find joy, hope and stay present amidst an emotional rut.”
King Falcon’s summer tour is underway with additional Canada and U.S. dates through this month, including select dates with Cinema Stereo.
“Nothing Feels Amazing” picks up where recent single “Wait” left off.
Frontman and primary songwriter Michael Rubin (vocals, lead guitar) shares:
It captures the emotional progression from the immediate reaction to a situation into the difficult acceptance that some things can’t be changed. There’s a numbness that comes with that acceptance and I thought the visual of the melted ice cream in the single artwork encapsulated that perfectly.
Shot in Dumbo and at Jane’s Carousel, the video “depicts the excitement of the surrounding world while touching on how everything can feel so numb.”
Director Niko Stykos says:
It’s a song for people going through a hard time in life whether it’s a bad breakup, feeling a sense of loss, or suffering from PTSD.
We decided to film things that would normally bring enjoyment such as ice cream, riding a carousel, and spending time in a beautiful park on a sunny day. The bridge looming behind Michael represents the hidden weight many of us carry that is so often unseen while the ice cream melting and carousel spinning faster and faster show how easy it is to let life pass us by.
Catch the band live this summer across the Midwest and Canada.
