John Grant has shared his video for ‘Down Here‘, directed by Lisa Gunning.
The track is taken from Grant’s 2015 album ‘Grey Tickles, Black Pressure‘, of which our review opens:
“The twenty first century offers us no relief, no comfort, no permissible sense of stasis. We continue to move – herded like cattle by the media – like Lemmings falling off the cliff of expensive coffee and contactless payment.”
“For many of us this causes anxiety, which leads to an overwhelming urge to block the outside world out; a psychological state familiar to John Grant, a man whose determination to withdraw left him penniless, stateless and on the brink of being lifeless.”
