Dog Race have shared a new video for “The Leader.” The track is the follow up to buzzy single “Terror”. The UK quintet includes includes Katie Healy – Vocals, Jed Healy – Drums, James Kelly – Guitar, Dillon Willis – Keys, and Will Macnab on Bass. Both tracks were produced and mixed by the insightful Ali Chant (Dry Cleaning, Sorry, Portishead) and today the band share another in the form of ‘The Leader’, an icy, operatic fever dream that weaves dark cultish imagery and haunting baroque choral chants.

Paired to a video evoking folk horror, and one where vocalist Katie Healy is buried alive, she had the following to say about the band’s new single: “‘The Leader’ feels like the perfect continuation from ‘It’s The Squeeze’, building on our newly defined sound yet teasing how much more we have to offer. It sets its narrative around a protagonist who is thrown into inner turmoil when confronted with a fee to cross into the afterlife, convinced she had already paid her dues.”

Dog Race have supported Francis of Delirium, Fat Dog, Maruja, M(h)aol, Nightbus, Voka Gentle, Nuha Ruby Ra and Oslo Twins, and have appeared at Visions Festival, live on BBC 6 Music’s New Music Fix, and won a shortlist spot to play at Truck Festival this July.
