Montreal’s Yoo Doo Right blasts off into the cosmos with “Don’t Think You Can Escape Your Purpose,” the epic and foreboding 6-minute title-track off their upcoming LP, out on May 21 via Mothland.

The trio had the following to say about the track:


“Title track. It’s about a person who is losing touch with reality. Who thinks he has a higher purpose, and is supposed to be an ambassador to a higher extraterrestrial race. It’s a looming atmospheric rhythm and crawl.”

“In an attempt to achieve a higher purpose in life, the subject instead witnesses their own deteriorating mental posture,” says Yoo Doo Right’s Justin Cober of the video. “As a means of overcoming assumed existential risk (the hurdles of our great filter), the subject looks above and within believing that they alone have been chosen to solve the problems that our species faces. Images of Eva Szasz’ 1968 short film “Cosmic Zoom”, produced by the National Film Board of Canada were cast over foliage to make for fitting imagery, complimenting the narrative.”
