Words: Sam Geary
Following its debut last night (November 1) on BBC Radio 1's Annie Mac show, Brighton's Black Peaks release new single/video 'Fate I' - the first part of the final double track 'Fate I & II' taken from the band's newly released second album 'All That Divides', which came out last month..
The visuals for the track, directed and edited by photographer Sam Lees, sees the band live and on the road in the UK and Europe.
Lyrically the song was inspired by some ‘people watching’ - and observing examples of humanity's lack of empathy, and self-obsession, especially in terms of how we treat the environment.
"The song questions whether we are at a turning point where we can change our mindset and realise that we, as humans, don’t ‘own’ the world," says singer Will Gardner. "Much like a lot of the album, we were keen to create a bit of a ‘journey’, and while the song comes from a place of sadness and anger, the chorus also has a undertone of hope and optimism."
The band support Enter Shikari on their UK tour in the New Year.
