London punks High Vis have shared a cinematic video for new single Mind's A Lie, and announced that their third album, Guided Tour, will follow in October.
Mind's A Lie follows up on June's Mob DLA single, and finds the band tackling themes of explore themes of class, isolation and loneliness, with lyrics such as “Redemption so far beyond me / Paranoid, alone and lonely / Come on giz a chance to try.” The song features sampled female vocals by South London singer and DJ Ell Murphy.
Speaking about the video, frontman Graham Sayle says, “I wanted to look at how quickly negative habits can take control when you lack a positive or constructive outlet for your energy. While the language of mental health provision has found fertile ground in the churn of social media, access to essential services has been decimated by the indifference of successive Tory governments. Further division has been stoked through governmental rhetoric and media scapegoating. Without adequate support in times of crisis, life can quickly spiral into an angry and isolated existence.”
