Los Angeles' Mondo Cozmo shares the magnetic "Higher" - and its lo-fi visuals starring Paz de la Huerta.
"Higher" is an ambitious odyssey, beginning life as an '80s-twanged rock number before screeching into oblivion with muscular earwoms, cacophonous drums, and breathless pace in tow. It might start loose and unassuming, but by the end your body's left quivering in a cold sweat.
The accompanying video features Boardwalk Empire's de la Huerta and is directed by Carter B. Smith.
"Higher" arrives in the wake of "Shine", "Hold On To Me", and "Plastic Soul".
Mondo Cozmo is currently finishing off his debut album in Joshua Tree.
