[Video] Sundara Karma - Flame





Check out the video unveiled today by fast-rising Reading favourites Sundara Karma for new single 'Flame'.

Prior to a vinyl is release on July 24 via Chess Club, the track is available now for download.

According to the band's Oscar Lulu, it is based on Allegory of the Cave by Greek philosopher Plato - makes a change from sex and drugs, I suppose.

As he explains: "As soon as I saw the treatment that Bruno [Chiecco] had done, I knew it was the one. We just had to make it; there was no other option for us. It is the perfect visual representation and emphasises the real message of the song. We are basically commenting on the whole post-modern reality that we find ourselves living in... The Matrix. Where adverts, politicians, the war
on drugs, terrorism, consumerism, mass production, celebrity culture, social networks etc are the shadows that permeate our walls - and we all buy into it. We have grown up being forced to believe that these things have true value and that it's the only reality accessible to us. The video reflects this idea in more of a day to day light, a way in which practically all of us can relate to."

All sounds pretty light...
