[Video] The Ramona Flowers - Start To Rust

Words: Ellie Ward

The Ramona Flowers unveil their James Francis-directed video for new single ‘Start To Rust’

Fresh from wowing audiences as main support to White Lies on their recent European tour, Bristol based five piece The Ramona Flowers release a stunning new video to accompany their latest single ‘Start To Rust’.

Taken from the band’s recently released second album ‘Part Time Spies’, ‘Start To Rust’ sees vocalist Steve Bird trying to make sense of a doomed relationship, with the classy black and white clip not overshadowing the lush textures of the song itself, but its superb effects adding future depth to the lyrics.

"'Start To Rust', says Bird, "was written after I dreamt the melody and woke up singing the first line and sung it into my phone. The song is about the break up of a relationship and wondering how you got to the point of not being able to look or talk to someone you once loved, whilst thinking how did we get here?”
