Flatbush Zombies Link Up With James Blake For New Single Afterlife

Flatbush Zombies have shared a new song.
The James Blake-produced Afterlife marks the first material from a series of recording sessions between the alt-pop hitmaker and the Brooklyn rap trio. The two parties hooked up in person after a Flatbush Zombies show in Los Angeles in 2018.
The eerie track is set to a bass-heavy groove and arrives accompanied by an equally haunting video directed by Arnaud Bresson and shot in Paris prior to the coronavirus pandemic. Bresson said:
"Today, there is no technology that x-ray films a living being without endangering it, so we worked hand in hand with a post-production company to develop a technical device that would allow us to achieve a similar effect. We used multi-camera tracking, recorded the positions and movements of our characters to extract and apply to our 3D compositions. It took four months of work to find the perfect style."
Flatbush Zombies put out the 'Now, More Than Ever' EP in June, their first official release since 2018’s 'Vacation in Hell'.
