The Voidz Remind Us “All Wordz Are Made Up” on Surreal New Single/Video

The Voidz have been awfully busy this album cycle, live-debuting new music on Brazilian TV, changing their band name (from Julian Casablancas + The Voidz) when announcing their second record, dropping their first new single in nearly half a decade and then following it up with two more. They’ve added yet another advance track from their forthcoming Virtue today, debuting the surrealist video for shape-shifting single “All Wordz Are Made Up.”

Directed by Voidz guitarist Beardo, the “All Wordz Are Made Up” visual is a decidedly lo-fi miasma that “calls to mind the long lost days of VHS” (as a press release puts it) by way of rapid-fire cuts, Microsoft Paint-level graphics and cut-out text, all backgrounding The Voidz as they perform in front of a green screen. It’s like MTV and a GeoCities page had a baby; it’s, as one line of text reads, “image magic.” “All Wordz Are Made Up” is equally overwhelming, a beat-driven thumper that ably juggles synths, guitars and Casablancas’ distorted howls.
