Feel Absolute Nothingness in Dikembe’s Video for “Surfed in the Loft”

To borrow a line from The Promise Ring, sometimes, nothing feels good. You know that general sense of nothingness that lasts a day or week or several years or whatever? You just sort of drift through life not feeling much of anything, and nothing really makes it better—not playing Magic: The Gathering with your buds, not chilling in a pool, not letting an adorable dog lick your face. It is the IRL version of this guy: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ That’s sort of the vibe Dikembe give off in their new video for “Surfed in the Loft.”

“Surfed in the Loft” is off of the Florida band’s recent, self-released four-song EP, Ledge, which seems to be a good snapshot of where the band is headed for their next full-length, the follow up to last year’s Mediumship. Order Ledge from Dikembe’s website. The band is on tour soon. Catch them and mope around among them. Dates below.
