TV Priest have shared thier new single ‘It Was Beautiful’, taken from the forthcoming album ‘My Other People’ due 17th June via Sub Pop Records.
Vocalist Charlie Drinkwater says of the single,
“‘It Was Beautiful’ is a love song about the past, present, and future. A reminder that love is the most essential thing. The words came fast; it was recorded in a single emotive session, the first song we wrote together after my family had gone through a difficult experience and I think you can hear that in the kind of melancholy euphoria that plays out as the song progresses. In some ways it’s a coda to the whole album; a reminder to guard your hope fiercely.”
The dizzying single-shot performance visual was directed, produced, and filmed by the band in East London.
The thud of bass and the crackles of guitar introduces the track along with Drinkwater’s hypnotic baritone. A musical concoction continues with an experimental feel, especially from the guitar that dances over the continuous rumble from the bass and drums. A powerful performance from the band on this emotionally charged track.
