Increasingly frustrating but still occasionally brilliant South London band Athlete are releasing their next single, Black Swan Song on November 9 to coincide with the run up to Remembrance Day. They've really gone all out on the video this time and it works wonderfully. The video is on a war theme and is dedicated to the memory of singer Joel Pott's grandfather, who as the caption tells us fought in the Battle of Arnhem in 1944. The proceeds from the single will be donated to the Royal British Legion.
The song itself is much of the same emotive balladry they've been peddling since circa 2005 (but probably more in the Yesterday Threw... or Second Hand Stores calibre) and probably won't change your opinion of the band one way or another, but the video and the promotion surrounding the single just might.
The video won't embed in this blog, but click HERE to watch.
