Bodies intertwines LOCKS’ influences from rockabilly to traditional Irish to indie and alt-folk. On one level, the track alludes to the large number of bodies hidden in Britain’s wildest places over many, many years. A yet more sinister theme appears underneath, hinting subtly at the idea of burying parts of yourself.
“Britain is riddled with mystery. It has been burying its dead in the moors and bogs for thousands of years. This is an island graveyard, in a sense. On the other hand, we have all tried to bury something in our lives, only to dig it up later. We just knew we wanted Bodies to be the opening track on the album,” says the band.
Bodies will be accompanied by a video written and produced by Abigail Hardingham (British Independent Film Awards Most Promising Newcomer 2015, for Nina Forever) and directed by Steve Brett (an award winner at the Triforce Short Film Festival 2017). The video also stars Abigail Hardingham and Steve Brett.
This is the second single taken from LOCKS’ forthcoming debut album Skeletal Blues. It follows the single Skin which gained tremendous support from BBC 6 Music and local radio.
