Twin Atlantic have unveiled a video for their new single, Novocaine.
The synth-rock track is the first to emerge from the Glasgow rockers' fourth record, 'Power', which is due out through their new label home Virgin EMI on January 24.
The clip, meanwhile, was directed by Alex Nicholson and captures the band performing through a display of kaleidoscopic colours. Speaking of the themes and concepts for the video, vocalist Sam McTrusty said:
"The collage approach to Alex’s idea was really appealing to us. It’s the exact same way we have been approaching writing lyrics on this album. A sound or a colour evoke a feeling or a memory and you chase that down a rabbit hole and see what it unravels from your subconscious.
"To have a director listen to the song and get that was lucky. Working to the limitations of just red, green and blue lighting was another way this ties into the record. We’ve found that by limiting ourselves we actually use more of our imagination and creativity.”
Nicholson added:
"I really wanted to create something different for this incredibly powerful song. I wanted the viewer to feel, to live the lyrics and to ignore everything else around them; just digest what they were watching. It’s a sensory experience. Put on your headphones, ignore everything else around you and immerse yourself in the epic sound and visuals."
The trio will follow up the record's release with a run of intimate UK shows in the spring, including a night at London's Electric Ballroom. Tickets are on sale now.
