Black Country, New Road have dropped a new music video for the band’s latest single, “Concorde.”
The six-minute video combines a range of motion and scenery. According to video director Maxim Kelly: “”On the surface, the concept was straightforward, a walking video: An Ant from “up there”, sings Concorde.
But, for a band who namecheck everyone from Scott Walker to Kanye West, and the pronounced mix of genres in their music, it felt right to take an analogous approach with the visuals. Throw as many references together as possible and see if we, too, could get it all to hold together as a piece.”
“We took the 6 minute+ runtime as an asset,” Kelly continues. “It gave us the time needed to weave as much as possible into the film. A walking video in parts, but also with a narrative running through. We combined miniatures with VFX, and flanked the film with archival footage.”
The song itself is an advance from the band’s upcoming sophomore release, Ants From Up There, set for release February 4th, 2022.
