Lead singer Charlie Drinkwater got to the chance to get surreally expressive in the official video for the group’s excellent new single “One Easy Thing”,
The singer dons a suit of armour to play a beleaguered medieval knight on his return home from battle where the mood swings from self pity to a full on danse macabre.
The darkly comic “One Easy Thing” video was directed by previous band collaborator Joe Wheatley (“Decoration”, “Press Gang”) and shot on 16mm black and white stock by director of photography Kristof Brandl. The song is available today worldwide on DSPs from Sub Pop.
Charlie says of the single:
“Writing ‘One Easy Thing’ was key to unlocking a more direct and personal approach to our songwriting. It’s about dealing with the small things of everyday life; the anxiety, pressures, and battles inside your own headspace – and not being afraid to show this in our songs.”
“One Easy Thing” further ushers in a new direction for the band and will appear on TV Priest’s forthcoming new album, due out on Sub Pop later this year. It follows the recent “Lifesize” b/w ”All Thing” single (their contribution to volume 6 of the Sub Pop Singles Club), and “Uppers”, the band’s acclaimed, full-length debut, both released in 2021.
The band will follow the winter’s UK headline tour with new dates set to be announced alongside further details of album two in the near future.
The band play the End Of The Road Festival in September 1-4.
