Ghostpoet unveils dark, oppressive video for new song "Freakshow"

Electro auteur Ghostpoet has released a video for his song "Freakshow", which features on his upcoming album Dark Days and Canapés.

The video features gloomy, beige tower blocks and vertigo-inducing camera angles.

Ghostpoet, also known as Obaro Ejimiwe, called the song "a kind of commentary on modern consumerism...the unstoppable cash-driven churn we seem to be caught up in as a society."

The song follows the recently dropped "Immigrant Boogie", another ominous track with socially focused lyrics. Both songs are part of a "dystopian series" of videos directed by Zhang + Night.

Dark Days and Canapés comes out on August 18.

Ghostpoet haunts Ireland with a gig at the Button Factory, Dublin on October 24.
