Danish rebel pop duo Reptile Youth has released the next installment in the video series for its second single “Black Swan Born White.” The new Keep Shelly In Athens remix of the track follows the ‘Black Swan Born White’ (S.C.U.M. Remix) video released last month, and the video for the original version of “Black Swan Born White” premiered earlier this summer. The track is taken from the band’s self-titled debut, out on October 23 with hfn music (Kasper Bjørke, Trentemøller). Produced in London by Dave M. Allen (The Cure, Sisters of Mercy) and Marc Ralph (Hot Chip), the LP comprises eleven highly-energized tracks of electro-punk pop.

Reptile Youth was founded in 2009 by vocalist Mads Damsgaard Kristiansen and bassist Esben Valløe. Soon after its formation, the band toured extensively to rapturous acclaim. In 2010 Reptile Youth completed the longest tour of China ever for a Danish act, and in 2011 the duo performed at notable festivals including Iceland Airwaves, Reeperbahn Festival, Unit Tokyo, and Roskilde Festival as the only band without an actual release. Reptile Youth’s live shows border on barely contained chaos and their stage dominance has inspired a fervent following. Expanding their stage presence with guitarist Mads Bergland and Emil Vissing on drums, the band plans to tour extensively throughout Europe and North America this fall and leading into early next year.
