New Pagans share video for single ‘Admire’
Northern Ireland's New Pagans have shared the video for their latest single ‘Admire’.
Directed by bassist Claire Miskimmin, the clip features vocalist Lyndsey McDougall in various states of reflection in scenes from across Ireland and the USA.
Claire and Lyndsey are also visual artists and have a clear idea of New Pagans' aesthetic. ‘Admire’ is the third instalment in a series of short films where they conjure up a runic world to narrate their music.
“The video was inspired by folk horror, the Irish countryside and all things ritualistic," Claire explains. “’Admire’ is a peculiar love song about sticking around for someone, after the spark of newness has gone and the video depicts an offering to an imagined deity, a pact entered into, an altar where a sacrifice is made.”
