Straight out of Oxford, Mississippi (nope, not a clue. You?), ILLLS are to release their debut EP, Dark Paradise, on London label The Sound of Sweet Nothing. Have a watch of the video here.
The band set about recording music over the space of about a year, which eventually turned into this. On recording the band have said “We didn’t know what we were doing, but this is what we made. We play live now and will be this Spring after we release this EP that’s taken so long to create.”
Speaking of the video this is what they had to say: “It was shot in our home town of Oxford, MS. We rented a camera from the local university and got two of our friends (who have never really worked in film before) to just help us shoot an idea we had. For the other parts of the video, we really did just walk through a grocery store, bought a bunch of nasty food, cooked it all together and ate it. There should probably be more of the aftermath of us eating the food in the video because we were gagging and throwing up for about 30 minutes afterwards. It was disgusting.”
