The Joy Formidable have released a video for their new single The Wrong Side.
It’s the latest song taken from the trio’s upcoming album Aaarth, which will launch on September 28 via Hassle Records. The band previously revealed a stream of the track and Dance Of The Lotus.
Speaking about the video, bassist Rhydian Dafydd says: “This is our second collaboration with Boston-based creative studio TRLLM. We love their imagination and, like all our favourite artists, they’re not afraid to make it weird.
“They had the background to the song, how lyrically it’s pieced like a collage from memories and snippets of time, and they used that, along with the album artwork to create this experimental, multi-coloured dream sequence that we think captures the essence beautifully.”
Aaarth will be the Welsh outfit’s first album since 2016’s Hitch, with vocalist and guitarist Ritzy Bryan previously saying: “We threw ourselves into this beautiful vivacious collage of experimentation, real meets unreal, and stopped giving a fuck about things that didn’t matter, and started caring more about the things that are worth your time.”
The Joy Formidable will head out on tour later this month, with shows planned in the UK, Canada and the US.
