A few weeks back, our pals at Upset premiered Arrows of Love’s new single, ‘Beast’ – and today we bring you the video; check it out below, first on Dork.
The noise-doom anthem is a rage against gentrification and oppression, something the London-based band are are currently fighting against in their home city. For the video, however, they looked further afield.
“The footage is from an old 70s recording of an Iranian Dervish dancing around the desert in his stone garden,” they explain.
“We fell in love with this guy. It was amazing watching how his mystic dance went so perfectly alongside this music, each section almost perfectly choreographed, across the decades in a way he would never have known.
“If we were getting deep we could talk about connections through time and space, and the one-ness of it all. But we won’t. It’s just a video man.”
Taken from the band’s second album ‘Product’, ‘Beast’ is released tomorrow (Friday, 9th December) via Tape Records. Arrows of Love play The Lexington in London tonight (Thursday, 8th December).
