THOSE DAMN CROWS have released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track The Night Train, is taken from the Welsh hard rock band’s upcoming new album, God Shaped Hole, which is scheduled to be released later this month, via Earache Records.
Speaking about the new single, frontman Shane Greenhall shares, “having had an extremely powerful and vivid dream where I visited my father, and relatives who have passed away, It really felt like I had travelled somewhere else, to a different time/place rather than a dream. It inspired me to write The Night Train – the transport that takes you to your loved ones who are no longer with us. The train takes you to their new home where you’re temporarily invited and reunited with your loved ones for a short time, at the same time, every single night like a grieving Groundhog Day. Your destination is one dream away.”
The single’s official video is more unusual for the group, as it is entirely animated. The band worked with noted animator Marco Pavone. Shane comments, “I’ve always wanted an animated video to tell the story of a CROWS song. TNT was the perfect fit and song for doing so. When I storyboarded the idea to Marco (our animator) he absolutely nailed the brief. It almost feels like a bedtime story but the dream world is a place we visit every night. Imagination, manifestation is a gift and TNT is surely something we would all grab with both hands if we could get the chance to be with our loved ones again who have crossed.”
