New single \u201cBoys Do Cry\u201d by Latvian indie rock band Carnival Youth will be released on 28th of June. The single is taken from Carnival Youth\u2019s forthcoming third studio album \u201cGood Luck\u201d which is set for release in August 16th.<\/p>\n
Musical material for a single was created during song writing camps at different parts of Latvia\u2019s countryside.<\/p>\n
Music video for \u201cBoys Do Cry\u201d directed by Roberts Ku\u013cenko was shot in Sigulda, Latvia. Roberts Vanags of Carnival Youth explains the idea behind the video: \u201cNowadays the question about gender equality is a hot topic. What makes a real man and what does it mean to be a feminine female? Living in safety and prosperity, one thing that can make a man cry is a woman. In this video directed by Roberts Ku\u013cenko emotional side of men is shown in a stylized and exaggerated manner, retaining the traditions and specifics of the \u201cB\u201d category movies of the 1970s. Women\u2019s power is literally depicted in their independence and physical power. The girls in the video have no problem kicking some guys, which shows not only \u201cthe fight\u201d women go through, but also the inner world of men which can be very fragile and vulnerable. However, it doesn\u2019t mean lack of masculinity. Boys do cry, you know. And that\u2019s ok. It is about respect and acceptance of power of women and emotionality in men.\u201d<\/p>\n
The new album \u201cGood Luck\u201d was recorded last summer in Red Bull Studios in Sao Paulo, Brazil. It\u2019s produced by the band\u2019s long-time collaborator Gatis Zakis and mixed by the Grammy winning producer Nicolas Verhnes, who has previously worked with Animal Collective, Deerhunter, Dirty Projectors, Wild Nothing, The War on Drugs and others. Master was done by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound in NYC and his work includes artists like The National, MGMT, Interpol and Arcade Fire.<\/p>\n
The new album consists of 12 songs and the release of it will be celebrated with the band\u2019s most excessive tour so far which will start in autumn. Shows confirmed in Germany, Switzerland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Czech republic. More to follow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
