The Maccabees Reveal Video For Spit It Out

The Maccabees have revealed their video for Spit It Out.

The track features on the indie troupe's fourth album, 'Marks To Prove It', which was released in July. The video is the third in a trilogy series directed by Joseph Connor. Discussing the clip, which you can check out below, Connor said:

“The footpaths under the Elephant and Castle roundabout were adorned with the most stunning, colourful and odd mural paintings. Each day commuters passed these, enveloped by the artwork, they were something unique, something characterful, an important part of the community.  

All this has now gone. The current regeneration of the area left no place for the footpaths and as such the murals were deemed surplus to requirement.  What is replacing them will no doubt be more functional but will it be as fun, as unique, as characterful?  I feel that this video is therefore ultimately about loss, a loss of character, a loss of distinctiveness.  It's not necessarily condemning the future of the area but merely looking at what was there and recognising its fantastic individuality something which is not as cherished in London anymore.” 

The Maccabees will hit the road this winter, with a UK tour set to spill over from November into the new year.
