Tom Williams and the Boat
Following the release of their new album ‘Teenage Blood’ earlier this year, Tom Williams and the Boat precede this weekend’s Bestival performance with a new video.
‘Little Bit In Me’ is the new single, out September 17th through their own Pledgemusic funded Wire Boat Records, and is perhaps the most instantly accessible track of the collection; a classic melody draped in Tom’s intuitive storytelling.
Evidence of an imagination run wild, Tom's lyrics meander and stagger through a landscape of scarred and pitted characters, all ever present in a nightmarish gene pool he seems to yearn to escape from.
Now it has been brought to life by Ceri Amphlett, creator of The Go! Team’s memorable artwork for ‘Thunder, Lightning, Strike’ and comes accompanied by a beautiful yet suitably eerie pagan-esque woodland video.
"The masks seemed especially relevant seeing that the song is about monsters in some respects. Ceri also had a cinefilm camera which gave it that elephant man feel" explains Tom.
"For the first time ever we went into the video shoot, without any idea of what we were meant to be doing and we just did whatever Ceri asked us to do. It was really fun to make and all over in a couple of hours!"
