Arriving just days before the release of Eroica II: Christian Nihilism (out October 31), “I Wouldn’t Be Alive Without You” closes the trilogy of singles leading into Chino Amobi’s long-awaited second album. The track channels the record’s central tension between ruin and revelation. Accompanied by a new video directed by Chino Amobi and Evan Angelique Coleman.

Without escapism, a confrontation with one's own mirror. 
Where Two become Three, and three become One.
To be in the world of culture, but not of the world of culture, requires a great act of magnanimity, courage, and conviction. 
This single and its respective video is a renunciation, in the nihilist sense, 
of Baal materialism and idolic desire for external validation, 
while simultaneously grounding oneself at the center of the storm and chaos, just as Christ did and continues to do.
Loving yourself and loving others.
True identity and freedom comes to revelation and fulfillment within the deserted and impoverished ruins of one's own soul. 
For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than
for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God - Matthew 19:24

Chino Amobi’s forthcoming album, Eroica II: Christian Nihilism (out 31 October via Drowned By Locals), takes its title from what he calls “the idea that while joy and contentment in God might be ideal, they might never be experienced on this side of eternity.” The record inhabits that paradox through folky drones, glacial ambient, spectral trap, and the hushed echoes of sacred traditions. If Paradiso was a burning world in flux, Eroica II is its haunted aftermath.

Born in Alabama to Nigerian parents and raised in Virginia, Amobi is a musician, painter, and writer whose work has been shown internationally, including at MoMA PS1, ICA London, and Palais de Tokyo. He co-founded the influential collective NON Worldwide and is represented by Meredith Rosen Gallery in New York, Robby Fitzpatrick Gallery in Paris, and Von Ammon Co. in Washington, D.C.
