Hen Ogledd have released a new single, Clara.
The experimental folk-pop track finds the quartet joined by Will Guthrie (drums, percussion), Faye MacCalman (saxophone, clarinet), Chris Watson (recording of horse snorts) and Laura Phillips (recording of projector), with sleigh bells from Dawn Bothwell.
Head below to view the accompanying James Hankins-directed video, which follows Clara on a trippy, surreal journey filled with medieval imagery and nostalgic '90s computer game visuals.
The song is the second preview of the band's third album, 'Discombobulated', due out on February 20 via Weird World.
Named after the Welsh term for The Old North', Hen Ogledd is the collaborative project of artists Dawn Bothwell, Rhodri Davies, Richard Dawson and Sally Pilkington. They introduced the album in November alongside sharing the single Scales Will Fall.
The band will celebrate 'Discombobulated' with a listening event on February 14 at Newcastle's Star and Shadow Cinema. Head here for details.
