The band are continuing that momentum today with the release of the official video for the single. The new video has been directed by Dir.LX, who’s previously worked with rappers like Dave, Bugzy Malone, and Kojo Funds, has taken cues from Mike Kerr’s lyrics to create a video that “pulsates with foreboding atmospherics and cinematic, neo-noir flair”.

The band have previously stated that the song was a real turning point for the third album, Vocalist Mike Kerr said “It was the moment something started to click – where we started playing over those much more rigid dance beats. The breakthrough was realizing that there was real common ground between that and what we’d done before. It’s that AC/DC aspect: where the quality that makes the riffs seem so cutting is because of that beat. Although on the surface we were stepping outside what we’d done before, it didn’t feel at all unnatural; it felt like we were returning to music we’d loved from the very beginning: Daft Punk, Justice, things that were really groove-orientated. It was all about the beat. It felt like familiar territory, but something we’d censored in ourselves.”

Drummer Ben Thatcher adds “When we first broke out, there were only two elements to the band. I didn’t just have to carry the beat, I’d have to colour in the changes. We were both bearing a lot of freight, sonically. But this was a different challenge; less varied, maybe, but so satisfying as a drummer.”
