New Zealand based band After The Flesh, who blends ethereal goth-pop music with alternative yet modern dark rock, has released a new music video for the track "Changeling". The track is taken from their latest self-titčled EP, which was released on 23 May. After The Flesh comprises the talents of Slovenian-born vocalist and keyboardist Maruša Sagadin (Marusha), veteran local bassist Duncan Nairn, guitarist and vocalist Alec Morris, and drummer Sam Leamy.
The EP was mixed and produced by Bryan Tabuteau, based in Wellington. According to the band, the After The Flesh EP showcases significant growth from their earlier demo releases, featuring three new songs ("Changeling", "Cold Glory", and "Daisychain"), along with an updated version of their previous video single, "Perpetual Midnight", released in May 2021.
The video for "Changeling" was filmed and directed by Martin Sagadin, Maruša’s sibling. Martin explains: “After The Flesh asked me to create a video after we did a photo shoot at the pinnacles, where we were in the harsh daylight among the cliffs. We decided the next project would be very glamorous, dramatic, and interior, with layers of plastic and projection, paying homage to some of our favourite new wave music videos and concluding with a nod to The Cranberries album cover.”
Guitarist Alec Morris remarks on the pros and cons of the band being entirely independent: "We love that we get to do whatever the fuck we want. But without a label, this takes time and big favours from talented friends: people who take pity on us, and who provide us with the tools and knowledge that we don't have. It's a humbling process, and drives the band to do the best work we possibly can. I really feel we've done that on this record, as well as providing ourselves with many potential avenues to explore later on." Link
