Blaenavon share ‘Catatonic Skinbag’ video

After releasing the track earlier this month - alongside a heartfelt message from frontman Ben Gregory about how his hospitalisation for mental health issues and subsequent recovery kept the group away for so long - Blaenavon have shared a video for ‘Catatonic Skinbag’.

The track, taken from forthcoming album ‘Everything That Makes You Happy’ set for release this year, has been interpreted by directors Homer and Farley quite accurately, as Ben attests. “ “The video reflects a pretty miserable time in my life. Living in a cycle of self pity and sensual self-indulgence. [bandmates] Harris and Frank knocking on my door but I’m too busy soaking in stagnant bath water to answer. Homer and Farley got the vibe spot on. The song is a bit of fun but the theme is pretty severe: ‘always tired, lacking desire to feel enough to start the day.’”
