“The video is about the band being trapped in limbo and forced to perform in a circus for the dead kids that reside there,” says director Rafael Bonilla, Jr of the promo for Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs‘ new single Rubbernecker.
“The lyrics of Rubbernecker explore feelings of desperation and eroding senses of community in a world that’s seemingly gone completely mad,” says singer Matt Baty. “The central character is the clown, who attempts to detach himself from the world he observes as chaotic and unruly. The more he isolates himself, the more he yearns for kinship but the ever growing forces that reinforce his terror of the outside keep him rooted in his confinement. It’s a sad song really.”
It’s the second single from the band’s new album Viscerals, which is due out on April 3rd.
