River Fury release music video for ‘Wasteful’

RIVER FURY have released a brand new music video!

The video, for the track Wasteful, is taken from the band’s debut EP 5 Year Plan, which is scheduled for release in November.

Speaking about the track, vocalist and guitarist Patric Nutton says, “far from being a call to hedonism, the song slyly mocks that and is more about the process of growing up. It’s hard sometimes to exactly state the meaning, because to my mind the reckless abandon of a guitar riff or throwing shapes or having sex even are much more meaningful than simple wasteful hedonism. The video vaguely nods to that, the blue bottle as a metaphor for some of life’s rites of passage, a truth serum that invites the band and listener to lose themselves. The objects and scenes shown in the clip have various symbolic levels, and we’re very much enjoying the idea of letting the viewer figure out what each means, especially the erotic raw chicken massage”

The upcoming EP was recorded at Hermitage Studios in London, with production from Ed Ripley.

Speaking about the concept behind the title and the overall sound of the EP, Pat Nutton says it “revolves around a person who can’t seem to get with the idea of settling down with a plan for his life, and instead rues it. We wanted to make a fairly big sounding rock record, one that didn’t shy or mince its riffs or words. When we wanted to make it loud we made it loud and when we wanted it a bit more subtle and soothing we did that. Some of my other musical exploits are a bit more rough and ready and lo-fi but we didn’t feel the need for holding back from layering harmonies or conversely being discordant”.
