Simply to be clear, this new video from Tennessee hardcore bass-drum duo Thetan ain’t about laundry day. The “white sheets” within the title are a reference to (presumably) the Ku Klux Klan, if the invective expressed within the lyrics is any indication. The video, filmed and edited by Ryan Lewis, is an effects-laden efficiency clip with a layer of flames overlaid as Chad L’Eplattenier (drums, theremin) and Dan Emery (bass, theremin, vocals, mountain dulcimer) blast by way of an alternately ominous and scathing observe. Emery’s offended lyrics are spotlighted within the background, as effectively.

“White Sheets Blowing in The Breeze” comes from Thean’s newest album, Garnd Ole Agony, which was launched on Emery’s Anti-Company Music in October. You may order etched LPs, CDs, and digital downloads on the label webshop right here and Bandcamp right here, And take a look at the duo’s upcoming stay dates listed under the video.

That is what Emery needed to say in regards to the observe:

“It is a very private tune. It was written about my uncle who was a horrible human being—a racist, abusive, waste of human existence. There’s a particular person like him in everybody’s life, an individual who defies your private convictions and tries to wedge themselves into your existence by some superficial “blood of my blood” bullshit. You don’t owe these individuals your presence. You might be allowed to by no means forgive individuals. Some individuals deserve nothing greater than to be eradicated from one’s life. Kill them in your artwork, and let destiny end them off in particular person.”
