Husky Loops have shared a new video for ‘Tempo’ – check it out below, first on Dork. It’s a glitchy highlight from their recent debut EP, released through Alcopop! Records.
Speaking of the clip, director Tom Ringsby and Pietro from the band say: “We wanted to work with the theme of mortality and the universality of it: how we are all living under the ticking clock. In our research we found Chronophobia, the clinical term for a fear of time. This informed all choices from script, casting, locations and design.
“The dramatic film techniques and imagery, drawn from pop thriller and horror cinema, make the pill easier to digest, while emphasising the mounting pressure building at the back of our heads.
“They say the key to contentment is to live in the present, but right now’s a pretty fucked up place to be.”
The band are set to play Live at Leeds, Dot to Dot, The Great Escape and various other UK shows this May, including a London date at The Shacklewell Arms on the 6th.
