Trailer Trash Tracys have posted a new track and video.
Siebenkäs will feature on their forthcoming sophomore LP, 'Althaea', which is due out on August 11 through Domino imprint Double Six.
Discussing the video, Jimmy Lee, one half of the London duo, said:
"The narration for the video was supposed to be a rivalry between people who represent the moon, and people representing the 'tiger', which features prominently in Philippine folklore. The video, however, has parallel meanings. Not to give too much away, we kept the narrative loose. The moon in the video could metaphorically represent knowledge (represented by the illumination) or something more spiritual. In fact, I liked the idea of the moon falling to earth, and people passing it around like a toy.
I was initially influenced by a scene in Woody Allen's Sleeper film in which a group of hedonists enjoy a futuristic drug shaped like a ball. I wanted to echo some of the political issues surrounding the death penalty for drug users in the Philippines as well.
The video was shot in various locations around Manila - a lake, a cave, rural roadsides and remote areas - and features various artists I befriended - the Hernandez Brothers, Nika Dizon, Keren Oo, Juluis Valledor, Cenon III and Mavs."
Trailer Trash Tracys will follow up the record's release with a UK tour, calling in Manchester, Glasgow, Newcastle, Leeds, Birmingham, Brighton and Bristol between September 18 and 24, following which they will head to Europe and return to the UK for the tour's final show at the Camden Assembly in London on October 18.
