THE RECEIVER DEBUTS "TO BATTLE AN ISLAND" MUSIC VIDEO; ANNOUNCES COLOSSAL U.S. HEADLINING TOUR
New album "All Burn" out now on Kscope
COLUMBUS, Ohio - Midwest symphonic dream-prog duo, The Receiver, has launched a new music video for the track "To Battle an Island," taken from its recently released full-length, All Burn, out now on Kscope. Stream the "To Battle an Island" music video, directed by M.J. Smith (http://www.mjsmithcamera.com/), on YouTube at:https://youtu.be/pXp120qg6O4.
Commented vocalist/keyboardist, Casey Cooper: "I had the pleasure of jumping into freezing water wearing a hazmat suit multiple times, which gave me the sensation of being water boarded. Jesse conveniently sat that part out. Even so, working with M.J. Smith was a blast. We didn't have anything specific in mind for the video, so he conceptualized and we all just ran with it. And I love giving other artists the chance to reinterpret our music. So while in the song I tried to make being rejected by my girlfriend sound as cool as possible, the video sort of twists and plays with that concept with the main character trying to escape the entire time. Add in a few sci-fi elements for good fun, and there you have it."
In addition to the music video, The Receiver has also announced an extensive U.S. headlining tour, set to kick off this month. A full list of confirmed tour dates can be seen below, with more to be announced.
Comprised of brothers Casey (vocals, synths/keyboards, bass) and Jesse Cooper (drums & vocals), the siblings call their third studio album, All Burn, their "best material to date which focuses on a dreamier aesthetic than our earlier work." All Burn, the band's Kscope debut, is also the first self-produced Receiver album, with mixing handled by Danny Kalb (Beck, Ben Harper, Foster the People, Karen O) and mastering by Brian Lucey (Sigur Ros, The Shins, The Black Keys, Arctic Monkeys).
All Burn can be purchased now via iTunes at: http://smarturl.it/TR_AllBurn_Download and Amazon.com at: http://www.amazon.com/All-Burn-The-Receiver/dp/B00XIQNL36.

"a majestic, expansive record filled with electronic flourishes, soaring vocals and melody to spare." - AllMusic.com
"Every element of ['All Burn'] is pristine, poignant, and poised, basking its forlorn melodies and harmonies in glistening regality." - Big Takeover
"On their third album, 'All Burn,' brothers Casey and Jesse Cooper set complex, bright melodies and heartbeat-pulsing rhythms adrift." - NPR.org
