LA Priest announces UK headline tour, shares video for ‘Occasion’

LA Priest has announced a UK headliner tour this November. The former Late of the Pier frontman has also shared a new video for ‘Occasion’ - the opening track from his debut album ‘Inji’.

Directed by Dust and long-time collaborator Isaac Eastgate - who also worked on the visuals for LA Priest’s ‘Learning To Love’ and ‘Oino’ - ‘Occasion’s video is a gloomy, violet tangle of wires and spindly houseplants. Meanwhile, LA Priest loiters in the haze of reverb, sporting a very fetching fur coat.
