Folly Group have shared a new video for the title-track of their upcoming EP.
Following on from ‘Four Wheel Drive’ and ‘Sand Fight’, it’s a cut from the London band’s debut EP ‘Awake And Hungry’, set for release on 11th June via So Young Records.
They explain of the track: “‘Awake and Hungry’ was written in the thick of lockdown number one, when members of Folly Group were living on top of each other in a small house that was rat-infested and falling apart. It’s an attempt to articulate how it feels to have no choice but to remain inside a building that seems as if it actively rejects your presence, and simply does not want you there.”
Of the clip, they add: “[It] was made with no intention other than to visually represent the mood the song attempts to capture. The viewer/player trudges through dark, soupy air, finding ways to transport themselves elsewhere, only to end up more trapped than when they started.”
Give it a watch below – the interactive version is at folly-group.itch.io – and catch the band on tour this summer, and then supporting Do Nothing in September and October.
