He is inspired by a wide range of artists, from early Tame Impala, to The Beach Boys. &#8216;Neural Stereo&#8217;, the first Aqua Seca album, will be released this month.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The video for new single, &#8216;Don&#8217;t Care&#8217;, was shot on the Salt Flats, in Utah, and is the perfect setting for the song, fitting the punk pop feeling of reckless abandon, and freedom without limitation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dressed in a suit and tie, the protagonist is sitting in the centre of three aeroplane seats &#8211; with no plane to be seen &#8211; in the middle of the salt lake. Nothing to be seen in any direction &#8211; endless emptiness. He hides behind the seats, and you realise he has no shoes on. How did he get there? Where is he going?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Later, after running in four different directions around the desert and seemingly hallucinating &#8211; maybe the whole thing is a hallucination &#8211; a car appears, and he&#8217;s seen playing poker&#8230;returning to the seats, he&#8217;s found to be bound, and the driver of the phantasmagorical car&#8230;is him. A mysterious clip almost as mysterious as Aqua Seca.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can find out more about Aqua Seca on their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.AquaSeca.band\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">official website<\/a>.
