London-based Woman's Hour have released the new video to single 'In Stillness We Remain' which is out on September 22 thru Secretly Canadian.
The video for the single - which comes from the band’s latest album, 'Conversations' - was directed by lead singer Fiona Burgess and filmed at Queen Katherine School, a secondary school in Kendal which Fiona along with band members Will Burgess and Nicolas Graves attended as teenagers. The six dancers in the video are current students who devised dance routines entirely by themselves. The band’s only intervention was to record it.
Fiona says of the video: “Making this film was a wonderful nostalga trip; walking along our old school corridors, encountering some of our teachers from back in the day, recalling how self-conscious we all felt about ourselves and the world. By focusing on a real group of teenage friends, the dancers in this film manage to capture all the awkwardness of growing up, but they also reflect what young people pick up from mainstream pop culture and try to emulate. Their movements are clumsy and idiosyncratic, but it's these imperfections that I love.”
After playing several upcoming festivals, the band head into a busy autumn with tours through UK, US and Europe.
