To kick off their newest set of tour dates this month the band is excited to release their first music video from the record for the single “Lost and Confused.” Having premiered on Bloody Disgusting the video was directed by Skip Terstra who Cope said, the “video belongs to.” Through Skip’s vision the clip is able to “capture an intensity and darkness within a relationship that mirrors closely the vibe of “Lost and Confused.” Hailed by Bloody Disgusting as “Natural Born Killers meets Pulp Fiction” be sure to watch the video on YouTube and check out a full list of Kylesa’s upcoming tour dates below.

In writing Exhausting Fire, the trio found themselves culling inspirations before getting together in various permutations at various times to wade through the amassed collections of riffs and ideas stockpiled before, during and after the punishing Ultraviolet tour schedule. Another curve Exhausting Fire throws at the listener is the manner in which the co-vocalists emerge sounding infinitely more comfortable and confident working as an integrative unit. The pair expertly dodge and weave around one another as an homage to the stratified spirit of their psychedelic influences while respecting the context of the song, while drummer Carl expertly crafts and performs two separate drum parts.

Captured at the familiar confines of the Jam Room in Columbia, SC, Exhausting Fire sees the trio immersing themselves deeper into themselves and their own process by refusing to hire an outside producer to assume Cope’s position. In fact, he reports having additional engineering duties dropped into his production seat, and spending more hours than ever working behind the board. In that sense, it’s not difficult to take the band at their word when Cope describes Exhausting Fire as “an album we really put our hearts on our sleeves for. We’ve always done that, but emotionally, it’s probably the most honest and raw album we’ve ever done.”

“No band sounds like us and we don’t sound like any other band,” concludes Pleasants. “After all these years of experimenting with different styles and sounds, we’ve really developed our own thing and I can faithfully say that we sound like us. With this album, we’ve successfully made a record that incorporates all the elements we’ve always played with into a record that works on its own.”
