Former My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way has unveiled the official video for ‘No Shows’, taken from his forthcoming ‘Hesitant Alien’ LP.
The track is instantly available for anyone who pre-orders ‘Hesitant Alien’, also available as a deluxe bundle with the CD or vinyl format of the album, an exclusive t-shirt and a limited edition ‘Hesitant Alien’ hand-drawn zine by Way, limited to 5000 copies.
“I wanted to make the small things sound big,” Way speaks of the album. “My intention was to make 100 percent uncompromised art, using the currently least radio-friendly instrument, the guitar. I knew there would be lots of fuzz pedals. I knew I would play Fender instruments. I knew I would look at who my guitar heroes were in art school, Mary Timony and Carrie Brownstein, and I drew a lot of influence from shoe-gaze and Britpop. I want the record to sonically galvanize people.”
Way will appear at this year’s Reading and Leeds Festival, as well as a special warm-up show in Portsmouth.
