The Dead Ships

It’s been a great last few months for The Dead Ships. Since releasing their EP, “I,” back in May, which was produced by Brendan Canning of Broken Social Scene, the band has become quite the sensation on local radio, soaring to the top of the charts like a glorious bearded butterfly in a new suit. The closing song from the EP, “Tomorrow Crashes” is a comedown song after a long night of partying, when the morning hits you like a cymbal in the face. Lead singer Devlin McCluskey compares it to “waking up surrounded by still-drunk-strangers with all the color gone from their faces and you just want to run because something bad happened and something worse is coming.” Maybe they’ll all wake up and try to eat you? Or worse, wake up and tell you something horribly dumb you did last night that you’ve blocked out with excessive alcohol consumption. We get it. McCluskey shot the video for “Tomorrow Crashes” on his phone in the Light Tunnel of Chicago’s O’Hare Airport while waiting to fly back to Los Angeles. A little bit of post-magic and some additional performance footage later, and voila, a great video enters the world of hangovers.
