REVEAL NEW MUSIC VIDEO FOR LEMON TO A KNIFE FIGHT
The Wombats have revealed a new music video for Lemon to A Knife Fight, the first single from their forthcoming new album, Beautiful People Will Ruin Your Life, due February 9th 2018 via Warner Music Australia.
A tale of redemption, the video arrives dark, grisly, yet positively empowered. Speaking of his inspiration, director Finn Keenan explains:
“The idea for this video came from the line in the brief ‘David Lynch meets Power Rangers’. I wanted to make something that started off dark, surreal and little bit disturbing but then flip it on its head with a big ole’ twist that led to a ludicrous ending. These hunters do this every month, but this time they picked the wrong werewolf. I wanted the viewer to feel such sympathy for the main character, and such disgust for her captors that when the tables turn it’s quite the satisfying romp! I wanted it to have a deep-South America vibe so naturally we shot it slap bang in the middle of nowhere in Ireland, in my tiny hometown Cavan, which surprisingly made for a pretty convincing backdrop!”
