Track Of The Day :: Desperate Journalist - Hesitate
'Hesitate' is the new upcoming single by London four-piece Desperate Journalist, and to get you in the mood they have already shared the accompanying video.
Taken from the album their self-titled debut album, the Jason Weidner-directed video to the track was worked around vocalist Jo Bevan's coming across the work of film artist Takashi Ito.
"I was really struck by how he uses time lapse photography, projection and altered film speeds in a sketching way to make something at once sadly romantic, ghostly and kind of mundane. I sent one of his films ('Grim') to Jason and he came up with a treatment inspired by Ito's aesthetic which perfectly reflects the paralysing anxiety of the lyrics."
‘Hesitate' is darkly intense song epitomized by a nervy bass line and pulsing drums, gradually melding with Bevan's vocal, it all flows into an explosion of poetic lyrics set against a sonic wall of frenetic guitars.
The band head out on tour next month, playing a handful of shows as follows:
May
24. Birmingham, Hare & Hounds
27. Sheffield, Rocking Chair
28. London, 100 Club
29. Norwich, The Blueberry
30. Bristol, The Stag & Hounds
