Zeds Dead are Premiering a Movie For Their New Album

Zeds Dead are releasing a movie to coincide with their new album. Simply entitled Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness: The Movie, it expands upon the aesthetic the Toronto-based alternative electronic duo has presented through videos for previous album cuts. 

So far, they have shared videos for “Sweet Memories,” “Heartbeat,” “One Of These Mornings,” and “Bad Guy.” All four of them include grainy old-timey color TV visualizations with clips from myriad footage spliced together. Prior to the album drop, they shared a similar video for their unofficial song, “Channel Flipping” which combines clips from numerous classic movies and TV shows like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Casablanca, and Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.

Overall, Zeds Dead consider Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness a conceptual album based on the idea of light and radio waves floating through space forever. A television somewhere in the abyss is collecting bits and pieces of music and visuals from all throughout time. The movie will be a long-form presentation of that idea.

The duo first showed the film at a listening party in a vintage movie theater in Los Angeles. Now it will premiere on their YouTube channel today at 5PM PDT, 8PM EDT, and 12AM GMT.

Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness is out now via Deadbeats. Buy it on Beatport.
