Kent-based rock and roll outfit Two Wounded Birds are set to release their latest single ‘To Be Young’ - the first to be taken from their forthcoming eponymous debut album - on August 5th. They’ve also unveiled a brand new music video for the track, which you can see below!
Filmed in the beautiful 100 year-old Carlton Cinema in Westgate-on-Sea near the band’s hometown of Margate, the video - directed by Dom Bridges - boasts bold colours, slick lighting and projected cartoon images that soften the bright backdrop. With the video’s location and style reflecting the track’s romantic and nostalgic elements, it reflects Two Wounded Birds’ vulnerable and delicate qualities whilst maintaining the rebellious nature that has become synonymous with the band’s style.
Speaking of the track and it’s video, guitarist Joe Stevens said: “We made the video in the Carlton Cinema in Westgate On Sea. It’s one of the few places that uses analogue projection. The seats are velvet and the whole place has the feeling of another time. The cartoons are also from a different time. One of them is a journey through space and all the planets have the faces of Gods on them, they look like marbles.
“In the video at one point you can see cows leaning out of the window of a space shuttle and dancing with each other. In another two poor kids in rags go to sleep and wake up in paradise together. Reality is something you don’t consider when you’re young, things like this make total sense and the world’s a better place for it.”
