The Wave Pictures have shared a video for Pool Hall.

The track is cut from the London trio's new album, 'Bamboo Diner in the Rain', which is set to arrive on November 11 through Moshi Moshi and follow up last year’s Billy Childish collaboration, 'Great Big Flamingo Burning Moon', and their acoustic album 'A Season in Hull', which was released in February.

Discussing the video, director Chris Shepherd said:

“This is a really special one. From the moment I heard it, I just loved it. It sums up the age so well. I just had to do it. So many favourite haunts have bitten the developers' bullet. Pubs, pool halls, cinemas and music venues have all been made-over into flats. My London has slowly been disappearing, so to hear this in a song is powerful and important.
 
The guys told me that they’d written the song about Cousins Pool Hall in London that had closed down and by pure chance I started talking to the people who ran it. They were over the moon that they had been immortalized in a song! Cousins is a real community that has a passion for snooker and pool. The location was jam-packed with snooker memorabilia. We all felt very proud as they included us in their hall of frame.”
