“The juxtaposition of dancing while facing certain doom is what ‘Last Dance’ is all about. Like dancing through a Mad Max scene,” said Janeway in a release. “So naturally the video had to be a dance video. It was a pleasure to work with Machete Bang Bang and all the folks involved on this. I hope y’all enjoy.”
The Alien Coast was inspired by a range of Janeway’s influences, including Greek mythology and dystopian sci-fi. “The title actually came from reading about the history of the Gulf of Mexico, which is home for us. When the settlers — or invaders, really — first came to the Gulf Coast they couldn’t figure out what it was, and started referring to it as the Alien Coast. That term really stuck with me, partly because it feels almost apocalyptic,” said Janeway.
The full album will be released on Jan. 28 via ATO records. Another new track, album opener “3000 AD Mass” — teased in an ATO signing announcement last month — was also released in full on Tuesday. Listen to it here.
