The new single by Goat Girl, ‘The Crack’, is released today via Rough Trade Records. Taken from the forthcoming album On All Fours (released 29/01/21), ‘The Crack’ is accompanied by a timely and surreal video, directed by Molly Ann Pendlebury.
Goat Girl say of the track, “‘The Crack’ emerged from an imagined post-apocalyptic world whereby people flee into space for a new life on an unruined planet, as the result of the pillaging of Planet Earth.”
Watch the video for ‘The Crack’ below:
Molly Ann Pendlebury: “‘The Crack’ intimates a world at the mercy of its inhabitants. I wanted to create a video which indirectly plays with notions of environmentalism and our relationship to the earth whilst never explicitly being a film about climate change. After discussing the context of the song with the band and its place within their upcoming album, I decided to focus on the relationship between the characters and their connection to the earth. Developing the illustrations of brothers Toby and Aidan Evans-Jesra, the masks and costumes represent the individuality of the characters whilst connecting them to each other and their surroundings. Playing with subtle and restrictive movement, the performers are ‘on all fours’; alluding to the album’s title, and moving collectively as one; portraying a journey through a land lost to time.”
Goat Girl’s new album On All Fours was produced by Dan Carey (Kae Tempest, Black Midi, Franz Ferdinand) in South London in early 2020.
Goat Girl are: Lottie Cream, Rosy Bones, Holly Hole and L.E.D.
