Son Lux have released a video for The Fool You Need.
It's a track from their new album, 'Brighter Wounds', which arrived earlier this year through City Slang. Discussing it, director Jean-Paul Frenay, who previously collaborated with the band on the Cage of Bones video, said:
"Ryan’s lyrics are always very poetic and open to interpretation so I went with what it evoked to me. The song could be interpreted as a strange submissive love song but I found a deeper sub-layer in it about the general struggle of life and what it means to go through it.
I based the video on the circle of life and death. It’s a poetic allegory illustrated by this phantasmagoric hotel corridor that challenges our characters individually throughout the movie. The two are fighting their way to each other, reaching out during the climax -- when Ryan is almost begging in the lyrics, singing the emotional sentence “Hollow me.” I always get goose-bumps when I hear this part of the song."
The American trio will support the new record with an extensive tour, which will take in dates across the US and Europe throughout May, June, July, September and October. Head here for further details.
