Indie Oddities Dinner Set Gang Share Warped Music Video For “Are You Someplace Else?”
Milwaukee indie pop duo Dinner Set Gang (named after the notorious group of thieves from decades past) released their latest album Are You Someplace Else? at the end of October. The collection of “pop music for the doomed” composed by Derek De Vinney and Josh Evert carries with it a duality of both happiness and dread, crafted by carefully placed synthesizer riffs, drum loops, and vocal harmonies.
The album’s title track and focus single “Are You Someplace Else?” is a captivating taste of the album, and has been joined with its oddly charming music video, set (almost) in a hotel pool.
’90s bedroom pop and child toy sounds give the track its nostalgic glow, while the music video possess an unsettling euphoria, as if its characters had been slipped a drug and had ventured into their own minds.
