The sloshy dreampop duo Corbin Clarke and Makan Negahban, aka Bür Gür have released a music video for their newest single "Neighbors", herald of the forthcoming religious lapse Have You Lost Your Faith in God?
Their debut LP Alligator Cheesecake, a panoply of chilled electronic lights and hip hop sighs, placed Clarke and Negahban in the headlights of DIY upstart label Noise Met Sound, whose roster includes the brilliant Lawrence Lindell, Gypsy Eyes, and Inner Ecstasy. Now with "Neighbors", Bür Gür takes a confident second step forward into the waves of psych-pop while keeping their composure slick.
The "Neighbors" music video wrestles with Phil Miller’s creepy stare, tossing salads in the bachelor pad, and the victim complex of Ryan Lars Bergmann (Mothers of Gut, Retox). Directed by HABITS mastermind Dustin Krapes, and featuring Le’lani Lan’caster (Retox, Washing Machines), "Neighbors" is as intrusive as a porno breaking the fourth wall, and probably three times as danceable.
Bür Gür’s sophomore album Have You Lost Your Faith in God? is slated for an early 2016 release via LA micro-label How To Be A Microwave. Catch Clarke and Negahban performing Tuesday, November 24th at the Silverlake Lounge with Milo, Kenny Segal, Signor Benedict, and Safari Al. – Ryan Mo
