Watch video teaser HERE 

"Fresh off the heels of our Soundplay project with Pitchfork, Swedish four-piece The Amplifetes take their own swing as music game excellance. To promote their upcoming album, they've created a the Guitar Hero-like interactive music video Where is the Light.  Let me know if you beat 811. "  Kill Screen Magazine

"Created in the depth of a nordic forest, recorded with a strict dogma of analog machinery, and filtered
through a mixing console once owned by Pink Floyd. The Amplifetes second album is about to be released.
We can see clearly now. Where is the light?"

Kill Screen premiered the fun and challenging game the The Amplifetes created for their single "Where Is The Light"  http://www.whereisthelight.com/  (this website launches interactive music video game) and the band made a teaser video available for the video game HERE. From the beginning of its inception, Swedish 4 piece band The Amplifetes have never been afraid to push boundaries and try new things. Their forthcoming album, Where Is The Light, harnesses the power of the digital world and introduces interaction and gamification into the conventionally passively consumed music video by created a music video game, set to one of the songs from the new album, which immerses the player into The Amplifetes world. There will also be an iPhone app (to be released shortly).
