Today, the Hamilton duo Allegories unveiled the music video for “The Next Life,” a noisy, haze-drenched shoegaze alt-rock cut that blurs melody and distortion into something cathartic and immersive.
About the track by Adam:
“This is the most pessimistic reflection on life and existence I’ve ever put forward.”
Originally written on ukulele, “The Next Life” underwent multiple transformations before reaching its final form.
What began as a skeletal folk sketch was first recontextualized through electronic instrumentation, then reshaped again using the organic, analog tools most associated with a rock band.
Layers of guitar, bass, and drums form the foundation, while swirling electronic textures bind everything together to create a dense, emotional atmosphere that feels simultaneously expansive and suffocating.
