Sobriquet release new music video for ‘僻 Higami’

SOBRIQUET have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track 僻 Higami, is taken from the Sheffiled-based post-hardcore band’s upcoming new EP, A Hundred Thousand Tongues, which is scheduled to be released in May this year.

“Lyrically this song’s about coming to terms with the parts of yourself you don’t like, embracing your flaws, realising perhaps that ‘hey, maybe I’m not as much of a weird, fundamentally unlikable person as I think I am and that aspect of myself exists only within my head’,” says frontman Ludovico Fahey on the new track. “Or it could be about fighting your evil twin in a shallow body of water, that works too.”

The song was written during Fahey‘s time studying abroad in Okinawa Japan, hence the title being written in Kanji, which encompasses all the possible interpretations of the word ‘higami’ – ‘Inferiority complex’, ‘warped view’, ‘prejudice’, and ‘bias’. He adds, “I think you can kind of hear that influence of the place in the music itself; it’s somewhere where the summer is permanent & the island itself is gorgeous but the sun is rarely visible behind the clouds and with the American army stationed on your doorstep essentially encompassing you from all sides you never feel entirely at ease. I guess subconsciously the way that the music manages to track the line between upbeat melody and crushing darkness roughly emulates that vibe.”
