UNIVERSITY announce their forthcoming debut album, McCartney, It’ll Be OK
UNIVERSITY, the Crewe-based four-piece, have announced their debut album, McCartney, It’ll Be OK, and share its lead single, "Curwen".
Speaking of the new track, the band said: "Pale sunlight bounds over timid concrete, time jumps like a broken typewriter, the future is past and the past is irrelevant, faces falling in the animal soup of time."
Video director Nina Dellow adds: “For me this song feels full of complex energies. I wanted to explore those hard to define tensions in-between, where sound and image meet. Making this piece was instinctive; the movement of an ant, the human body and the rhythms become interchangeable. Shooting on Super 8mm, VHS-C and combining this with 8mm found footage, brings into question notions of time, what is real and how we are connected.”
“There was a conscious choice in the writing to make it more emotionally varied. It encapsulates a wider array of emotions. We’ve got a more light-hearted way of looking at our band now. It puts the sounds from the EP into colour. Because we’re influenced by a lot of emo and music that’s extreme, we realised things can only be so miserable unless you have something to contrast it with. You can only feel the dark properly when you also feel the light. You want to feel all the jumps… like The White Album,” the band's drummer Joel Smith says of the album.
