On-the-rise Scottish band The Snuts have released the video for their latest single, “Elephants,” channelling the warm pastel aesthetic 1960s television, complete with bouncy guitar riffs and foot-stamping, hip-swinging choreography. Taking fans back to the Ed Sullivan Show days of early Beatles performances, Snuts frontman Jack Cochrane said in an NME article, “We’ve packed as much madness in as we possibly could.” Speaking of the track more generally, he adds that “Elephants” is “another twist on our ever growing diverse catalogue. The song in whole features a change in lyrical style leaning more towards referencing. The main theme of this track is about believing in your own ability in times of struggle and diversity.”
The new video was directed by award-winning narrative filmmaker Aella Jordan-Edge, whose films employ “metaphors and symbolism to explore emotions and the world around her” and have been seen everywhere from London to New York. The track was also announced on the band’s official Twitter account, @TheSnuts, in a June 11th tweet which is currently pinned to the top of their page.
Throughout August, the band can be seen performing in a number of Live from the Drive-In gigs, which the organisation’s official website has promised will be offering, “some of the biggest names in UK music … live on stage backed by a full concert production that you can enjoy all from your very own viewing zone. With movies and family events also to be added to the schedule, this will be a live experience like no other.”
