Watch: Richard Dawson - "The Vile Stuff" [Premiere]

06 November 2014, 13:38 | Written by Laurence Day

Freak-folk Tynesider Richard Dawson, fresh from releasing his critically-lauded record Nothing Important is showing off his new visuals for album highlight "The Vile Stuff".

In our review of the record, we said about "The Vile Stuff":

"...with its initial eastern tinge, seduces us before the alarming intrusion of a narrative of a school trip, a helicopter ambulance and further details of a cautionary tale best broadcast (unlike The Clangers) well after the watershed. The guitar sound parallels the downward spiral into a surreal operating theatre before re-emerging into a mundane ward that, nonetheless, hints at something rather sinister, before a Velvets-style extension back into the anaesthetised unknown."

Watch the unnerving, hedonistic, 11-minute clip below.

Nothing Important is out now on Domino.
