Acid rock outfit Behind You drop intense new single “Cell” with a surreal, duality-themed video shot in LA and Vegas.
Eora/Sydney acid rock band Behind You emerge from the shadows with their raw new single “Cell.” A masterclass in streamlined chaos, the track channels agitated punk, alt-hip hop vocals, and digital distortion into a sound that’s both cerebral and unrelenting.
“Cell” sharpens Behind You’s experimental influences to a jagged point, delivering one of the group’s most chantable lines yet:
“How do you even communicate with yourself? Is dealing with the inner critic a process of eliminating them, or befriending them? Stargaze all the puddles in the cave, pull my muzzle on my face, never say whatever I said…”
Accompanied by a surreal music video filmed over several days in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, the visual is a collaboration between frontman Harry Welsh and director Gabriel Gasparinatos. Shot on iPhone, it unravels an improvised story of a psyche in collapse—two conflicting selves in a toxic dance of inevitability, stalking the Venetian floor or cruising Mulholland Drive in a slime-green Mustang.
Musically, the track reflects the group’s signature approach: controlled fury and twisted introspection, drawing sonic inspiration from artists like Dreamcrusher, Low Life, and Snapped Ankles. Behind You’s style – a fusion of aggression, digital noise, and dark romance – stands at the edge of genre.
Having built a cult following since 2017, the trio—Frank Fisher, Joe Goddard, and Dylan Clay—have gripped audiences with feverish live shows and earned acclaim from Rolling Stone, VICE, ABC Arts, fbi.radio, and more.
