Silver Synthetic Channels Music TV Of The 70s In 'Unchain Your Heart' Video

New Orleans-based Garage-Psych band Silver Synthetic have released a video for "Unchain Your Heart" from their Out Of The Darkness EP, which has now been released via Third Man Records.

They are also teasing an upcoming new LP, due next year from Third Man.

The band explains the approach to their video for "Unchain Your Heart":

"We wanted to pay tribute to the great music television of the 1970s — The Midnight Special, The Old Grey Whistle Test, Beat Club, Musikladen… the list goes on. Thanks to our directors, Connor Reever and Sam Aguirre-Kelly, and host, Johnny Wünder, we ended up with something that just passes as a long lost contemporary to those classics. 2020 sucks. We hope this bit of time travel is a welcome departure." 

Here's a little further information about the origin and formation of Silver Synthetic:

"In the midst of the thick New Orleans summer of 2017, Chris Lyons of garage punks Bottomfeeders found himself sitting on a small batch of songs that didn’t quite fit the fuzzed-out pileups of that band. The new songs were more chiming, driving but relaxed, full of little corners begging to be filled with classic pop harmonies. Bottomfeeders drummer Lucas Bogner, bassist Pete Campanelli, and Kunal Prakash (Jeff the Brotherhood) dug the songs and signed on, and the quartet started playing in earnest, hunkering down in the practice space. By the time the band played its first gig in late 2018 at the opening of Nola’s ManRay Records, the songs had multiplied and the members of the newly christened Silver Synthetic had become genuine rock & roll craftsmen."
