New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Shoegaze/grunge 4 piece, Downers, have shared their new video, 'Grown Out', taken from the new EP/7inch, 'Noose' - Out Now through Local Colour Records.
"The track is a fuzz filled dreamy nod to the nineties" says frontman, Bobby Pook. "The video is shot in our home town of Blackpool, cameos from Downers and starring our friends. We tried to capture the spirit of Blackpool whilst staying true to the influences off the video." 'Grown Out' premiered with Kerrang! last week:
Downers came together in early 2015, as frontman Bobby Pook had been writing material for the project towards the end of Me Vs Hero. Comprised of old school friends and friends from previous musical adventures, as a collective, they all had an urge to go back to the 90's guitar music that got them wanting to play/learn to be in band in in the first place.
'Noose' is heavy on the fuzz and inspired by space, dreams and memories.
'Erased' is based on a recurring, lucid dream that frontman Bobby has about being invisible. In the dream, Bobby's invisibility is a gradual process, fading from normality, to complete concealment. Bobby goes through stages of struggling with fear and acceptance, every night.
'Graze' relates to Bobby's memories and glimpses of being very young, and how that it is almost another life altogether.
'Grown Out' is a straight up small town song. Battling the struggle of being constantly being surrounded by all this negativity and striving to achieve something more meaningful.
'Noose' is out now on 7" vinyl and Digital through Local Colour Records: https://bit.ly/1h0pfyM
