Accompanying the track is an incredible one shot video directed by Luna Laure of Via Luna Pictures and produced by Pavlova. Luna's vision compliments the song perfectly, using a fiery lighting display tracked through a flooded basement to capture the song's dramatic themes and intensity.'
“We wanted to capture not only the vast space of the song but the intimacy and intensity of how we perform it live,” says the band about the video. “A one shot video meant everything had to be timed to perfection including beautifully programmed lighting detail by Ross Metcalf. With Luna on board, we flooded a basement underneath Kakulas Sister in fremantle and created our own atmospheric space in which to express the song.”
The move to a new name has been brought on by the rise of UK star Rag and Bone Man, resulting in a murder of misdirected Facebook messages, baffling playlist additions and undue congratulations from elderly relatives after viewing The Graham Norton Show. To this, the band says “NO MORE”!
Some great memories came from the time with the former name. The last couple of years saw the band release their debut album ‘A Handful Of Ash’, which landed them in Triple J Unearthed’s top 50 most played artists for 2017, and rang in at #5 in the West Australian’s Top 10 Albums of the Year. They also played festivals such as Falls, SOTA, Baybeats (Singapore) and Concrete & Glass (China), and shows with Stiff Little Fingers, Future Of The Left, WAAX, Jen Cloher and Ecca Vandal, to name a few.
New Talk have also clocked up an impressive number of award nominations and wins, with their single ‘Pissy Flow’ taking out WAM’s punk/hardcore Song of the Year in 2017, and members Axel Carrington and Sara McPherson taking out the titles of Best Guitarist and Best Bassist respectively. Vocalist Kiera Owen achieved the title of Best Live Voice at the NLMA’s in 2016, with a WAM nomination last year for Best Female Voice.
