Toronto rockers Hot Garbage offer a glimpse of their upcoming sophomore album Precious Dream, with alluring focus single “Erase My Mind,” a slow jam about clearing your head from unwanted thoughts. Led by solemn drums and minimalist guitars the heartfelt track is an anthem for romantics and cynics alike.
Reminding us to let go of things that no longer serve, the hopeful tinges of the track is complimented by gritty emotive stylings and monumental psychedelic peaks. The textured production is accompanied by immersive, slightly non-linear visuals courtesy of director Laura-Lynn Petrick, that draw from a Corbusier-style moving mirage for striking experience that matches the song’s tone.
An enticing peek of the album that dives into themes of dread, loss, the resilience of the human spirit and the highs and lows of solitude, the track is one that manages to balance the band’s signature moodiness with soaring elements.
