Spoilers have shared a new video for heartfelt garage punk number ‘Imminent Future’ – check it out below, first on Dork.
The track’s taken from the London-based band’s debut album ‘Anti Vibe’, recorded both at their homes and on Lightship 95 with producer extraordinaire Rory Attwell; it’s due 11th November via Vibe/Anti Vibe Records.
“The video started off as a sort of karaoke-style video shot at our practice space with a big roll of paper that you can get for like £30,” explains Eddie Whelan, Spoilers’ guitarist and the video’s director.
“Then we decided to translate the lyrics with Google translate. We hear different languages everyday, but don’t understand them. On the screen with the song, they started to have a familiarity. Our drummer is Italian and said our Italian translation was wrong, but he preferred it being broken. So they’re all probably a bit broken.
“We also used a broken video equalizer to create the “rainbow static” visuals.
“There’s a theme of embracing chaos and the unfamiliar, within the video and the lyrics. The goal is to make it beautiful. The reality is that it will be a mess. So we try to make beauty out of the mess and be cool with that.”
The band celebrate the album release with a launch show at London Fields Brewhouse on 10th November. Pre-order ‘Anti Vibe’ here.
