“Fidgety and frivolous, Fews’ bright take on post-punk chuggery is a breath of fresh air” – DIY Mag
Having signed to Play It Again Sam at the end of last year and on the eve of their their imminent debut album MEANS on May 20th, FEWS share the video for their new single 100 Goosebumps.
The video marks the visual debut of new bassist Jay and once more sees director / animator Alden Volney team up with FEWS having directed the video for previous single The Zoo. Shot in a derelict and somewhat dilapidated old asylum in East London, the backdrop accompanies a track that has rapidly proven to be a live favourite with Volney capturing the frenetic dynamics to create a striking video.
Speaking of the video director Alden says:
“I really enjoy working with FEWS. A somewhat improvised affair…. No script, no twist ending or overpopulated set, just the band and a raw energy to translate on screen in an eerily beautiful backdrop, there’s something about this that just feels right for their soulfully authentic music”
