SPOOK THE HORSES - New Video Premiered Online

New Zealand based atmospheric metal unit Spook The Horses premiered online a brand new music video for the track "Crude Shrines". Video was directed by Alex Ross, with additional light projections by Max Telfer and you can watch it in the player below. "Crude Shrines" is taken from the upcoming album entitled People Used To Live Here, which will hit the stores on 10th November via Pelagic Records.
"Writing this album gave us the ability to experiment with song ideas we felt weren't appropriate on our previous albums", Spook The Horses' Zach Meech elaborates. The band's most daring effort to date, People Used to Live Here explores the natural and immediate. Written and conceived in relative isolation over several grim Southern Hemisphere winters, Spook The Horses is defining their own sonic trademark with this album: an atmosphere of quiet desolation, raw and real, desperate and unsettling; the post-apocalyptic soundtrack to abandoned places, where people used to live, at one point in time, long ago.
"We deliberately isolated ourselves when writing this album to force us out of our comfort zones", adds Callum Gay. "Most of the songs began as completely improvised pieces that we slowly fleshed and developed over time. We wanted to make sure that immediacy was captured and conveyed in a way we'd never done before. There's much less between us and the listener this time around." Link
