BROCKHAMPTON Conquer Basketball And Glass Boxes In 'Boy Bye'

BROCKHAMPTON's new album, Ginger, is coming out on August 23. As well as this surprise announcement, the boy musical group has released its third new single from the forthcoming LP in three weeks: "Boy Bye," an alarmingly fast-paced tune that comes with a BROCKHAMPTON-signature video that's wicked, wild, and good. Those creepy Avatar-like people return for this one, and with an identically as mystifying giant.


"Boy Bye" is another bareboned beast, made up of mostly percussion with a stray melody here and there. It's a joyous time, so it makes sense that the video for it, as well, is all in good fun. Dom McLennon is twirling a basketball while people around him malfunction. Matt Champion raps his energetic verse from indoor glass box a number of stories high airborne. Kevin Abstract is surrounded by candles in darkness, shirtless, rapping to the void. Bearface stumbles through a drawling verse in a warehouse. There really are a bunch of different scenes, tied with each other by randomness. Blue people fight in the background. There's a giant sitting in a grassy field. The members get chased by masked figures in space outfits. Chaos could be the ideal way to describe it, plus it suits BROCKHAMPTON's MO.


"Boy Bye" follows the recently-released tunes "If You Pray Right" and "I Been Place on Earth Again." Their last studio release was 2018's Iridescence. Earlier this year, Kevin Abstract released his own album, Arizona Baby.
