Menace Beach share ‘Black Rainbow Sound’ video
The Leeds duo’s new album of the same name is out next month.
Menace Beach are releasing their new album ‘Black Rainbow Sound’ at the end of next month, and we shared its title track - featuring Brix Smith formerly of The Fall - a few weeks back.
The band have now shared a trippy new video for the track.
Speaking about the video, the band’s Liza Violet says: “It was created by Sara Serna who is a collage animator, graphic artist and musician living in Medellin, Columbia. We’ve been chatting about doing a collaboration for a while after we got friendly via Instagram. I love that she seems to get a lot of imagery from her local area and a lot of her artwork seems to touch on her country’s past and present political and social history.”
Director Sara Serna adds: “Each part of the video was designed and animated in cut out style, handmade and lo fi combined. The idea was to create a chaos of paper, using plants and dark animals, along with some details of the band in between.”
‘Black Rainbow Sound’ comes out on 31st August via Memphis Industries. View the title track’s video and their upcoming tour dates below.
