Words: Ellie Ward
Chester-based three piece Peaness are sharing their new video for single ‘Kaizen’, which is out now on 7” vinyl, and accompanied by previously-released B-side ‘Breakfast’.
‘Kaizen’ is the band’s first new material since their 2017 EP, 'Are You Sure?', and comes ahead of their forthcoming tour, a March appearance at Ritual Union festival in Bristol, and their biggest ever UK headline date at The Lexington, London on May 6.
‘Kaizen’ comes with a relentlessly upbeat video, directed by Twin Moon, that features Japanese pop-culture references taken from video gaming and movie culture, and belies the deeper meaning of the track.
“The ideas for 'Kaizen' came from a combination of feeling confused and scared about the future of the planet (because let’s be honest, it’s not great) and our love for Japanese culture," says guitarist Jess.
“It’s a song to remind myself that with every act of kindness and every crime, we affect the future, and that those choices go on to shape others, and our beautiful planet, long after we're gone. The word ‘Kaizen’ is a Japanese word that literally translates to ‘change for the good’, and that’s what we're hoping for.”
