NETHERLANDS - "We're All Gonna Die One Day" video


NETHERLANDS: new sludge-pop anthem "We're All Gonna Die One Day" decries environmental devastationRevolver premieres music video

"Purveying a kaleidoscopic, sugary yet heavy sound that's been described as 'psych-prog-sludge-pop,' New York's Netherlands have won over big-name fans including Mastodon's Bill Kelliher and Gojira's Joe Duplantier, the latter of whom has called them 'one of my absolute favorite bands!' Led by vocalist-guitarist-songwriter Timo Ellis, the quartet are gearing up to drop their fifth full-length, 'Zombie Techno'...The LP includes the single 'We're All Gonna Die One Day,' aptly titled for our apocalyptic times, a churning, bottom-heavy cut that shimmers with sarcastically sunny hooks."

The song appears on Netherlands' upcoming new album, Zombie Techno, dropping June 26th on Records And Tapes Records.


Led by vocalist/guitarist/songwriter Timo Ellis, Netherlands has been cranking out its psych-prog-sludge-pop since 2012 and Zombie Techno contains some of its greatest work to date. Falsetto vocals, brain-quaking synthbass, manic guitar shred and martial drumming combine in supremely weird, catchy songs that serve as vehicles for Ellis' diatribes against capitalism, materialism, and environmental devastation.

"We're All Gonna Die One Day" is an infectious sludge-pop anthem that delivers its apocalyptic message by way of '70s glam-rock swagger. Ellis states: "The runaway feel good/bad hit of summer 2020! A scathing yet still sugary call-to-arms, to rescue the Earth's remaining life support systems from oblivion. In my opinion, ideologies and practices based on unexamined humanism/human supremacy are going to bring modern post-industrial civilization violently crashing down much sooner than anyone thinks, if we don't all start to radically get our shit together."

Avowed fan Bill Kelliher of Mastodon has stated: “Netherlands, one of my current faves, continue to sonically challenge the unique atypical alchemy of the riff. A blast from left field of heavy bass and keys. Robotic vox conjure images and sounds of a Phillip K. Dick existence.”

Zombie Techno was recorded by Ellis, mixed by Adam Sachs (Swans, Joan As Policewoman), and mastered by Ron A. Shaffer (Tricky, Usher). With Zombie Techno set for a June 26th release, Netherlands is already at work on the next album –  the as-yet-untitled sixth full-length is being recorded with Converge's Kurt Ballou at GodCity Studio (Torche, High On Fire) and mixed by Grammy-nominated producer Alex Berthelot (Gojira, Frank Ocean).
