Its the fourth video they've worked on with director Bob Gallgher.
Girl Band have released their brand new video for the single 'In Plastic'. The single is taken from the group's debut record Holding Hands With Jamie. It was directed by Bob Gallagher who previously directed the videos for the bands other songs 'Pears For Lunch' and 'Paul' as well as a cover of Blawan's 'WhyThey Hide Their Bodies Under My Garage'.
A limited number of 7" vinyl records of 'In Plastic' will be released on July 8 complete with a unique hand stamp and number. Bob Gallagher has said that the narrative of the video "doesn't make literal sense, and should feel confusing and claustrophobic. A bit like being on the inside of a panic attack".
He added, "I think I pitched the idea to the band as the fever dream Kafka might have if he ever read 1984. It's it's not set in a particular place or period".
The video also "touches on themes of surveillance, paranoia, and how arbitrary the construct of a border can seem, which are all very contemporary anxieties". Check out the video below.
