Hermitude Return With New Music (Out July 15); Watch New Video For “Vibration”
June 23, 2016 BY Nettwerk
Australian duo Hermitude return with two outtakes – “Gimme” and “Vibration” – from their latest album Dark Night Sweet Light. Today, the band partnered with Australian cinematographer Alex Cardy (The Great Gatsby, Sleeping Beauty) to share the official music video for “Vibration.”
Currently based in London, Cardy has worked on award-winning feature films, short films and music videos – recently launching her own production company, ACE & CO. Working alongside Hermitude at their sold out London show in early April, she was able to capture the true essence and hype of their live show with dramatic movement and color.
This month, Hermitude wrapped up several festival performances, including Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival (June 9) and Electric Daisy Carnival (June 19). Throughout the summer, the guys will continue on the road, with Electric Forest, Camp Bisco, Electric Zoo & more to come. Full dates below.
