Still from the video
“Being immobile certainly isn’t something of which Aussie quintet Statues could be accused. Mixing the kinetic dynamism, angular aggression and musical nous of bands like The Dillinger Escape Plan, The Chariot and LetLive, the band are soon to release their debut album Together We’re Alone, and we’re very pleased to be premiering their brand new video for “Oh Precious Commodity.” ~ The Monolith
Statues
Statues have been quietly writing and working toward their debut album over the course of 2014. Here, in “Statues – Together We’re Alone – Album Update,” they discuss the process of putting the album together, which was a very community based effort, with only friends from their hometown of Perth involved with the record.
Taking two years to complete, Statues are excited to show the fruits of their labour, Together We’re Alone, which took two years to complete. The band “…hope that the record instills a wide array of emotions, from angst and anger, to fulfilment and joy, and everywhere between.”
