The Crack is the latest preview of the South Londoners' second album, 'On All Fours', which is set to land on January 29 via Rough Trade Records. It follows the previous cut Space Cowboy.
Musically, it finds the group leaning towards dancier territory yet it still retains the fusion of spacey synths and buzzing guitars that provided the foundation to 2018's self-titled LP. Its bizarre accompanying video was directed by Molly Ann Pendlebury, who said:
"The Crack intimates a world at the mercy of its inhabitants. I wanted to create a video which indirectly plays with notions of environmentalism and our relationship to the earth whilst never explicitly being a film about climate change… Playing with subtle and restrictive movement, the performers are 'on all fours'; alluding to the album’s title, and moving collectively as one; portraying a journey through a land lost to time."
