New Pagans release new music video for ‘Harbour’

NEW PAGANS have released a brand new music video!

The video, for the track Harbour, is the new single taken from the band’s upcoming debut album The Seed, The Vessel, The Roots And All, which is set for release this month.

Written about lead vocalist Lyndsey McDougall‘s pregnancy with her daughter, Harbour captures the experience of childbirth from all angles – the sickness, the joy, the frustration and the resilience and strength of women. The accompanying video finds new angles, keeping a gritty and often kaleidoscopic focus on Lyndsey and the beautiful coastal scenery that surrounds her.

“The video was shot on a freak dry day, in between weeks of snow and lashing rain, at St. Cooey’s Well,” bassist and video director Clare Miskimmin details. Lyndsey had been a few times and kept it in mind as a stunning and pretty sinister location. It dates back to the 7th century and the 70s altar actually houses the foundation stones of the old monastery. That lent itself to the basic premise of summoning a world and its inhabitants beyond ours, hidden from our view. Merging two realities.

“I love how the very last line is “it’s just you and me”, and how Lyndsey and her summoned doppelganger are swallowed up by the altar,” Clare continues. “Stuart Sloan, our editor, and I are massive David Lynch fans and nobody does the world beyond the veil like Lynch so we just ran with that vibe. Our very own entrance to the Black Lodge in the wilds of County Down.”

The Seed, The Vessel, The Roots and All is set for release on March 19th via Big Scary Monsters. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
