Hidden Shoal Recordings today announced the release of new single BMX by Australian dream-pop outfit City Of Satellites and its stunning accompanying video, directed by Dael Oates.

BMX is the sublime opening track from their debut album Machine Is My Animal, and it unfolds in a magisterial swirl of synths and hovering atmospherics. Part misty paean to lost youth, part anthem for a better future, BMX is premium 21st-century pop.

The sumptuous hypnotic sci-fi visuals of the accompanying video distills the haunting feel of the song.

A group of lost space invaders is drawn towards a gleaming orb in a forest, while a BMX rider (champion German BMX wizard Michael Steingraeber) is becoming unified with light in an abandoned warehouse.

Award winning Australian director and visual effects artist Dael Oates has created an absolute visual feast with this music video.
