For the new track from indie rock outfit New Carnival, the Bristol-based band’s drummer Bertie Crawley explored anger and aggression with a meditative visual centered on one capoeirista's countdown to battle. Here, Crawley talks about his directorial offering:
"This video, essentially a cry about the state of unchangeable circumstances, is a study of aggression.
"I selected capoeiristas because they simulate violence without ever carrying out that implicit threat. They are beautiful to watch. This video is about co-operation as much as it is about aggression. Aggression does not need to be about anger, it can be cathartic—the release of personal, pent-up rage in a way that does not incite hate."
