Tongues Of Fire Share New Single & Video ‘Room’ And Announce ‘Burn My Body Clean’ EP

North Carolinan post-punk group Tongues Of Fire have announced the August 27th release of their Burn My Body Clean EP via Florida’s Godless America Records. Alongside the announcement they have shared the lead single & video, Room. The track is set in a period of depressive self-isolation that the group’s songwriter Lowell Hobbs entered following his mother’s untimely passing to cancer. He notes “Believe it or not the song was written pre-pandemic. It was super cathartic to be able to express those feelings and it’s also kind of beautiful in a way that my very personal singular experience became a collective one because of COVID too.”

Room is accompanied by a gritty visual that creatively twists live footage of the band into flashes of shapes, warped shadows and bursts of action. All interspersed with shots of the band letting off roman candles captured by a yard-sale infrared camera. The show footage is pulled from the band’s first indoor show post-pandemic, at The Grey Eagle in their hometown. It’s fitting that the visual is so heavily influenced by live energy as the group’s commitment to harnessing the power of live performance is a defining characteristic of the cuts captured on their forthcoming EP, Burn My Body Clean.
