Mothers share music video for first studio track "No Crying In Baseball"

29 January 2016, 09:22 | Written by Jessica Goodman

Having sold out their first UK show at Servant Jazz Quarters in London next month, Mothers have shared a music video for the first track they recorded in a studio, "No Crying In Baseball".

Unlike the previously unveiled "Copper Mines" and "Too Small For Eyes", "No Crying In Baseball" does not feature on the group's forthcoming debut album.

Describing it as "a reflection on our relationship with media, technology and feeling", the video centres on a girl in a future not too far from our own, surrounded by words that tell her how to feel.

"She's wandering, adrift in a sea of lost souls that in an honest attempt to tweeze meaningful connection have surrendered themselves to an external locus of feeling," the band say. "The video is frenzied and meant to portray the often times fracturing role of media and technology in our lives reminiscent of what Marshal Macluhan had meant when he said 'We shape our tools and thereafter our tools shape us.'"

When You Walk A Long Distance You Are Tired is released via Wichita on 26 February.
