Drenge didn’t strayed far from their base to film the video for their new single This Dance.
It’s a collaboration with the High Storrs Dance Company which is helping to push the first bit of new material from the Loveless brothers since 2015’s Undertow. “We sat in a tiny bedroom with a fizzing guitar line, programming some beats into a computer,” Eoin has said.
“It was different to how we usually worked. We went to a wedding, and like all weddings, we ended up on the dance floor, belting out 80s chart hits like we were on the barrier at a Slayer concert. Our arms and legs collided with each others, with our friends and with complete strangers. Dance like nobody’s watching and then hope they don’t call the police.”
“I watched The Thing and thought about what would happen if Kurt Russell’s MacReady spent the movie fighting off the extraterrestrial organisms with tunes instead of guns. I thought about all the nightclubs I’d never be allowed to go in or would be too scared to enter. I let it manifest into the lyrics of the song, like the monsters in The Thing.”
