Cabbage have shared the video for their latest single Gibraltar Ape.
Out on March 24th, it was recorded at Parr Street Studios in Liverpool with producer James Skelly of The Coral and follows the trio of EPs which were released towards the end of last year. Of the video itself, the band says:
“No interminable, egocentric and grandeur oration can define truly of how proud we are of the Gibraltar Ape music video. Filmed and edited by Dominic Foster, starring the keen good folk of Mossley.”
Cabbage are looking ahead to their first album and recently told NME of inspirations which are coming from a variety of sources. “We’ve got a song about Alan Bennett ‘cos I went to the West Yorkshire Playhouse to see Alan Bennett in conversation,” Joe Martin said.
“His new book’s called ‘Keep On Keeping On’ and he’s just fucking a huge inspiration. We have a lot of black and white politically-messaged strong songs already, but we’re also hugely inspired by finding the humour of life and things that are really melancholy. Northern kitchen sink, that’s what really floats our boat.”
