The Devil Wears Prada will unleash their ninth album Flowers on November 14 via Solid State Records. And today, they share the video for “Eyes.”
The video finds Prada as puppets navigating a maze. Watch and find out where the puppet master pulling the strings leads them.
“‘Eyes’ is about coming to a point in life where you start to question the reality of what you once believed,” states Jonathan Gering (keys, synths, programming, percussion).
“It captures the feeling of wanting to break away from something that has only worked against you and the struggle to find a new way to move forward.”
Jeremy DePoyster (guitar, vocals) weighs in, saying, “‘Eyes’ is a song about desperately yearning for answers, wondering why you keep ending up in the same place without a clear path forward. When you’re caught in a wave of anxiety and the things you’ve been taught are of little help, you’re desperate for clarity and hope.”
He finishes, “Sonically, this song is a journey, contrasting between tight melodic verses and fuzzed out riffs. It’s an anthem for when you need the validation that no one has the answers. We’re all just doing our best.”
Flowers marks the start of an incredibly epic cycle and phase for the band. The global touring scheduling finds The Devil Wears Prada playing some of the biggest shows of their career. They just wrapped the Summer of Loud tour, which packed amphitheaters through the summer. Additionally, the single “For You” is the band’s first-ever track to chart on both the Mediabase and Billboard Active Rock charts. TDWP are continuing to hit new milestones two decades into their career, proving their vitality as a career band.
