Watch: CYMBALS Reveal ‘No Bad Decisions’ Video

CYMBALS have unveiled their new video for ‘No Bad Decisions’, taken from their forthcoming EP ‘Sideways, Sometimes’.

Directed by Daniel Brereton. the video showcases the complex animation techniques of himself, Etienne Frasson-Cochet and Elsa Philippe.

Speaking of the video, Brereton comments: ‘I thought the song could work with animation, and me and a couple of people helping, Etienne and Elsa, did some tests. When put to the music we thought it worked really well, so after the tests we shot the band and then added another layer of animation by ‘rotoscoping’ the band.

‘The song feels a bit like a journey to me and i think the animation adds to that. The animation was often done in an ‘exquisite corpse’ way, where one person would do one frame and another person do the next. Or sometimes we would take two separate totally different images and join them with animation in between. These techniques led to more accidental results.’

CYMBALS are set to release their new EP ‘Sideways, Sometimes’ through Tough Love on the 23rd April.

Following the elusive release of their album ‘Unlearn’ - which was released on limited hand-screen printed vinyl - there’s been a lot of interest generated around the four-piece.

‘Sideways, Sometimes’ was mixed and produced by James Yuill, D/R/U/G/S and Rory Brattwell, and gets released in April.
