Brooklyn-based band Beverly are gearing up to release their sophomore album, The Blue Swell, next month, the follow-up to 2014’s Careers. We’ve already heard two songs from the record — “Crooked Cop” and “Victoria” — and today they’re sharing a third, “South Collins,” accompanied by a video directed by Jim Larson. Here’s what the band’s Drew Citron had to say about the new track and video to Pitchfork:

I originally wrote the song “South Collins” as a noir film script, the music and lyrics describe a murder at an art deco hotel. One weekend after a friend’s wedding in the Catskills, I came across The Colonial Inn, and it was the perfect setting to film the video. It’s a 150 house replete with 150 years worth of taxidermy and tchotchkes. The place definitely had a surreal and creepy vibe, and the owner Steve was amazing. He has a friendly relationship with a brown bear named Baby, who comes into the hotel occasionally to eat leftovers, much to the dismay of the neighbors and wildlife protection service… Steve was totally down to let me and 20 of my friends take over the hotel for a weekend, and we ended up casting him as the older bartender.

The idea behind the video is that I walk into a hotel, and the sight of me triggers the bartender’s flashbacks to a nightclub singer he met decades before at the same hotel. A wild and progressively sinister party ensues. Years later he is still haunted by it – what happened that night? Director Jim Larson created the perfect look of an eerie Twin Peaks or The Shining-like world, without getting too overtly into ghost stories and the supernatural.
