Girls Names release new video for “Reticence”
Belfast’s Girls Names today announce plans to once again hit the road in 2016- including their return to the SXSW Festival in March-alongside debuting a video for the record’s opener “Reticence”. The band expects to announce more More U.S. dates soon.
In keeping with the continued activity within the Girls Names camp, the band are also unveiling a new clip for ‘Reticence’ – directed by Matthew Reed – that explores the contrast between human form and machinery. It’s a duality mirrored in the track where dogged humanity and discordant clang and clatter meet to stunning effect.
Speaking of the video, Reed explains: “The band were keen to do something which drew on a tension between mechanical movement and the more organic rhythm of human bodies. I then put that concept through a kind of 80s art school filter, which felt in keeping with the mood of the song: using a lot of 16mm film as source material and a slightly old-fashioned approach to montage in the way it’s cut.”
