Fat Dog Debuts “Wither” Video
Fat Dog have dropped new single “Wither,” a track off their forthcoming debut, produced by Love, James Ford and Jimmy Robertson album WOOF, which drops on September 6th via Domino records. The track is a snapshot of the band’s live show, as frontman Joe Love sings “You better wither baby before you die / The whole team withers / The whole team dies.” The track follows “I am the King,” alongside “All the Same” and “King of the Slugs.”
The video, directed by Ryan Vautier and inspired by 90s video games, is knowingly awash with unnecessary somersaults and wonky graphics. With a nod to Chris Hughes (keys/synths) and Morgan Wallace’s (saxophone/keys) onstage dance to “Wither,” the gameplay sees the five-piece traverse different worlds meeting bone dealers and singing skulls to come together and fight the final boss Gerald. Will the whole team survive? On the video, Vautier says “I wanted it to feel like a real PS1 or 2 game that I would have played when I was a kid – Fat Dog’s music has the chaotic energy me and my brother had, smashing down soft drinks and arguing over who got the top split screen.”
