Holy Esque are streaming their debut album ‘At Hope’s Ravine‘ having premiered a new video for ‘Tear‘. Listen to the album right here on Live4ever, via Soundcloud, below.
The ‘Tear’ promo, which can also be seen on Live4ever at this link, was directed by William Kennedy, who explains its themes:
“The film is about a lonely young woman who loses the ability to dream, who struggles to make ends meet, trapped in a routine and cut off from the people around her. She finds a way to escape her reality through a fleshy, leech-like creature that she keeps under her bed. She becomes addicted to the sensation, despite knowing that the parasitic creature is slowly taking over her mind and body.”
“The story is cyclical. There is no end. No resolution. There is only routine, and a desperate yearning to escape.”
Holy Esque are in-store at Rough Trade in Nottingham, Rough Trade East in London and Rise in Bristol today, tomorrow and Wednesday before beginning a headline UK tour at the Plymouth Underground on April 6th.
