Creux Lies return with Jubilate, a sleek, emotionally-charged statement piece that feels destined for late-night dancefloors. Serving as the first single from Jubilation, the band’s forthcoming third full-length, due out at summer’s end via Young and Cold Records, the track finds the California outfit sharpening every edge of their sound into something rather immediate.
Driven by irresistible vocal hooks, bright synth lines, and a thick, propulsive bass pulse, Jubilate leans harder into synthpop territory without abandoning the melancholic undertone that has long defined the band’s identity. The result is a kinetic fusion of darkwave, post punk, and electronic new wave that feels nostalgic and confidently forward-moving.
The accompanying self-produced video further reinforces the band's vision. Written, directed, shot, and edited entirely by the band over a four-year span, the visual stitches together footage captured across Los Angeles, San Diego, Vancouver, San Francisco, and Sacramento into a dreamy travelogue of isolation, motion, and nocturnal beauty. Like the song itself, the clip balances intimacy with grandeur, offering fleeting glimpses of urban decay and human connection beneath strobe lights and big city life.
