Ian Davis is turning his attention back to his band as they get to release their sophomore album Alternate/Opposite . The record expands on the framework of his first album, moving away from the focus on synths into a swarming power-pop glow that’s as dreamy as it is fuzzy.

The video, directed by Luke Csehak and Madeline Rose Carter is delightfully strange and equally as wonderful as the single itself, a “Lentil-pilled” trip that only gets more surreal as time passes and the “drugs” take hold.

“Agglutination” feels cathartic, working from a general ease toward a mounting tension, but glistening all the while. The video, shot by Bryan Hamill and animated/edited by Rick Rude’s own Ryan Harrison, pairs together live performance footage with delightfully scribbled cartoons.
