The song features on their sophomore album, 'How To Be A Human Being', which arrived last summer through Caroline International/Wolf Tone Limited.
Speaking about the track, lead singer Dave Bayley said:
“There are varying degrees of autobiography and my own life in each song I write…but for the most part, that stuff is buried and clouded in fiction or blended with other peoples’ lives that I've heard about in taxis or at parties or on the street. But there is one song that stands apart from the rest. It is the most truthful, honest, and personal story i have ever written. and that song is ‘Agnes’.”
Discussing the video, director Eoin Glaister added:
“In searching for ways to explore the weight of grief I remembered my grandfather used to perform tests on a human centrifuge, Essentially it’s an extremely large bit of kit that spins around very quickly. As it does so it subjects its occupants to increased levels of g-force. The faster 4you go, the heavier you become. On the day Dave described this feeling as like having an elephant sat on his chest. It was emotional. Appropriately so.’”
The Oxford quartet will appear at Lowlands Festival in the Netherlands on August 18 and Reading and Leeds later this month.
