Pijn release new music video for ‘Distress’

PIJN have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Distress, is taken from the band’s upcoming new album Loss which is scheduled to be released in October.

The music video is a unique one whereby it is a one hour film on constant loop with the single buried within it. It features manipulated audio from the forthcoming album as well as some of the spoken word contributions. There are multiple different versions of the song within the hour, with degradation through repetition to reflect the mental strain of replaying the same moment of experiencing loss over and over again.

Speaking about the video and the, quite frankly, ambitious project, the band says, “we wanted to present Distress to the world in a way that disrupts the casual, throwaway viewing experience of many music videos. Hearing the song requires direct action and attention from the viewer – because it is hidden within a long, meandering film. In an attempt to reflect the album’s themes of loss, the film will stream and loop with no option to pause, rewind or reflect. Miss something, and it might take another hour’s patience for another opportunity to listen. In creating Distress, we visited beautiful and bleak places around the north west, and tried to capture the industrial-scale loss of nature’s beauty. If it meant breaking in with a camera to get a shot, so be it. We hope you enjoy it.”
