<\/div>\n

Long Beach indie pop trip Half Alive<\/a> have unveiled their latest single \u201cRunaway,\u201d with a choreography-heavy video directed by Carlos L\u00f3pez Estrada (Billie Eilish, Father John Misty). The song will appear on their forthcoming debut album, Now, Not Yet<\/em>, due out August 9th.<\/p>\n

In the \u201cRunaway\u201d video, frontman Josh Taylor plays the head of a 1940s household who\u2019s about to be sent off to war. The video, belying the song\u2019s peppy tone, portrays the anguish of the man\u2019s departure through paper cut-out sets, heavy dance choreography and a sequence in which the walls literally start to close in on the man\u2019s wife. It\u2019s a somber video that\u2019s lightened a bit by the song itself, as well as the storybook quality of its art design.<\/p>\n

Half Alive previously released another single from Now, Not Yet<\/em>, titled \u201cstill feel.,\u201d<\/a> that they performed<\/a> on Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/em> The band kicks off their global headlining tour in support of the record this month in Dover, Delaware, at Firefly Festival, and will tour throughout North America and Europe through November.<\/p>\n
