Following the release of recent album 'Another Heaven', which is out now via Italians Do It Better, today Berlin-based Curses is sharing a new video for standout track "H2SG" directed by Will Clark.
On the video Curses said "Will Clark hit me up on Instagram about doing a video together for a song off the new album, loved his work and what Jamón have been doing but we were deep in the middle of a 22 date concert tour, so it was a proper puzzle and hustle figuring out when and how to shoot it. Will has this great idea to shoot on 16mm in Brighton's Saltdean Cliffs. We had a super late set Nov 9 in Brighton, so we shot the performance shots out in the blistering cold in-between soundcheck and stage time. Will and Jamón team really pulled out all the stops, from epic set design - freezing flowers into giant blocks of ice, swan feather angel wings, and draped silk fabrics, everything moved very smoothly from start to finish. 'H2SG' is a song very close to my heart. One of the most vulnerable ones off the album. its about grief, patience, undying love, they did a lovely and delicate job portraying these emotions visually. super happy with the outcome."
Director Will Clark added "The day ‘Another Heaven’ dropped I was twiddling my thumbs wanting to make something, I had an old 400ft roll of film at the back of the fridge and loved the sound so messaged Luca saying we gotta make a vid. With trust he was in and told me about 'H2SG', a beautiful tune. I turned what I heard into some imagery then we gathered the nearest & dearest and shot the vid very shortly after. It was true collaboration from all and a very rewarding process."
