Little Scream is about to release her third album, Speed Queen, in October (on the 25th) and we’ve got a new song and video for the opening track “Dear Leader”.

She states that she wanted to use it’s launch to raise awareness for the 1000 Cities campaign - the idea behind which is that if 1000 cities around the world adopt Paris climate accord standards, the world can still meet its global emissions targets.

You get the idea behind the pairing and theme while listening to and reading the lyrics in the video, and it features cameos from The National, Arcade Fire, Superchunk, Holly Miranda, Leif Vollebekk, Mélissa Laveaux, and more.

Tour dates to support the release should be out soon, and hopefully we get more music along with them!
