Pagan: „Silver“-Musikvideo zum Debüt „Black Wash“ ab heute bei Hassle Records

Passend zum heutigen digitalen Release ihres Debütalbums Black Wash (via Hassle Records/Rough Trade) haben Pagan zu Silver ein neues Musikvideo herausgebracht. Neben dem beeindruckenden Sound wird in dem schönen Clip außerdem deutlich, wie sehr Nikki Brunnen in ihrer Rolle als energetische Sängerin und Frontfrau aufgeht.

Die Band kommentiert:

„Silver is a story of toxic love; of two people who serve as each other’s biggest demons. It’s a tale of trying to salvage some sort of happiness with the person who brings out the worst in you, even though you know you also bring out the worst in them. The tragedy plays out over a very Pagan take on a straight-up pop soundtrack, with a subtle tip of the hat to the classic guitar rock of the 1970s.

The video for Silver was filmed and directed by our very clever friend, Aidan McDonald on a beautiful property owned by the family of another dear friend, Emma McEvoy, called Tanglewood Estate. This is the first look inside the Church of Black Wash and captures the pure, ritualistic energy that possesses us every single time the four of us make noise together.“
