Slaves reveal new creepy video for ‘Sockets’

There’s a bit of a general consensus that, during those unfortunate moments where you happen to accidentally tread on a plug with bare feet, pain can’t get much worse. So, imagine what it’d be like to have one of the same plugs rammed into your eye socket. Is your skin crawling yet? It will be by the time you get to the end of Slaves’ new video.

The duo, who released their debut album ‘Are You Satisfied?’ earlier this year, have just unveiled their new clip for ‘Sockets’ and it’s a jittering, high energy effort that sees appliances take over and the main protagonist get well and truly plugged in.
