Tom Williams and the Boat precede this weekend’s Bestival performance with a new video for their single ‘Little Bit In Me’ out September 17th through their own Pledgemusic funded Wire Boat Records. Lifted from his album Teenage Blood, it see’s Tom on freewheeling form through landscapes and afflicted characters as he seeks out escape.
Now it has been brought to life by Ceri Amphlett, creator of The Go! Team’s memorable artwork for ‘Thunder, Lightning, Strike’ and comes accompanied by a eerie pagan-esque woodland video.
“The masks seemed especially relevant seeing that the song is about monsters in some respects. Ceri also had a cinefilm camera which gave it that elephant man feel” explains Tom. “For the first time ever we went into the video shoot, without any idea of what we were meant to be doing and we just did whatever Ceri asked us to do. It was really fun to make and all over in a couple of hours!”
