The Picturebooks release new music video for ‘Holy Ghost’
THE PICTUREBOOKS have released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track Holy Ghost, is taken from the hard rock band’s upcoming new album, The Major Minor Collective, which is scheduled to be released in September this year. The release of the new music video is the second single to be lifted from the upcoming album, following on from May’s release of Rebel.
The new song features a guest appearance from MONSTER TRUCK‘s John Harvey and its accompanying music video was recorded in Guetersloh (Germany), Los Angeles (USA) and Hamilton (Canada).
Speaking about the new song, guitarist/vocalist Fynn Grabke says, “when we wrote Holy Ghost we immediately heard Jon Harvey’s awesome voice on it! MONSTER TRUCK became our best buddies after all the touring we did together in the past all over Europe and Canada. We always wanted to do a song together. To be honest, we didn’t know how good this song really was or could be. It was Jon who turned it into one of the coolest things we’ve ever recorded and we’re so happy about it! Thank you to this freaking pandemic to have shown the world once again that nothing will ever stop music!!! People will always find ways to make music because people need it. Because we need to create and enjoy it. There’s no better cure for anything.”
MONSTER TRUCK‘s John Harvey adds, “hallelujah. Sounds the same in every language. The meaning never changes. A divine celebration. When my good buddies THE PICTUREBOOKS contacted me about working on a song with them, I heard a few things they’d been working on and the music for Holy Ghost immediately grabbed my brain and shook it. The vibe was so sexy and groovy that it almost felt taboo, and the concept came together effortlessly. The lyrics are about the magnetism and attraction you feel when someone who checks all your boxes visually, enters. The fleeting intensity of an unknown future imagined in seconds. Like a spiritual uprising, that flushes your cheeks and speeds your heartbeat. What I can only imagine, is what heaven feels like.”
