Eagulls give up official video for ‘Velvet’

Eagulls have given up their official video for ‘Velvet‘, directed by John Minton.

“I was a fan of John Minton’s work that he’d created for Portishead and was lucky enough to get him to work with me on this video,” frontman George Mitchell has said.

“We both share interests in old cinema and we saw Saul Bass and Fernand Leger as inspirations on the visual elements and John was able to adapt these inspirations into a modern take with a theme of love loss running throughout.”

The video presents more of Eagulls’ 2016 album ‘Ullages‘, of which Live4ever’s review reads:

“Gone too is the relentless, almost asphyxiating pace of before; ‘Velvet‘s pauses and comparative gentleness allowing some much needed time for everyone to relate to their surroundings, whilst on ‘Psalms‘ Mitchell sounds lackadaisical, perversely almost carefree.”

Eagulls are on tour in North America at the moment and play Boot & Saddle in Philadelphia tomorrow.
