Divide and Dissolve release new music video for ‘Denial’

DIVIDE AND DISSOLVE have released a new music video!

The video, for the track Denial, is taken from the doom duo’s upcoming new album Gas Lit. The album is scheduled to be released in January next year via Invada.

Director Amber Beaton comments, “I’m a huge fan of D/D and so happy to have made this video for them. I understand and appreciate the message behind the music and I wanted to make sure the video held the same intentions no matter how subtle. For instance, we start off with a shot of a Kōwhai tree. Native to Aotearoa, Kōwhai in bloom signifies to Māori that some seafood is ready for harvest, the roots can be used to make fishing hooks, the sap on the sunny side of the tree can be used to heal wounds… but the vibrancy of the yellow flower was also the first thing Captain Cook saw when he arrived on the shores of Aotearoa signalling the start of colonial violence on this whenua/land. The changing colours of its flower in the video represents our change as a country and as people since that fateful arrival.”

Gas Lit is scheduled to be released January 29th via Invada.
