Funeral Suits have always had a fascination with the dark side.
Sweeping, epic music the band’s songwriting is crafted in several shades of noir. Stephen Street stepped in to produce their debut album, with Funeral Suits releasing the rather impressive ‘Lily Of The Valley’ earlier this year.
Stripped from said debut LP, ‘Hands Down’ is all twilight texture and shuddering, post-punk guitar lines. Out on October 15th, Funeral Suits have commissioned a typically striking video for the track.
Directed by Kevin Minogue, the clip opens with two girls running through the countryside. It soon transpires, though, that the pair are escaping from something…
With a mask-clad cult on their trail, can the pair survive? Find out below.
