BRNS announce UK/EU tour dates and air new "Many Chances" clip exclusively on Best Fit
Acclaimed Belgian outfit BRNS ('Brains') have announced a range of UK/EU tour dates for the coming weeks, and are airing new video "Many Chances" exclusively on Best Fit.
Richly animated with a mix of childlike ingenuity and fantastical darkness, the video mirrors a Glass Animals-like depth of sound. Knotted and tangled like jungle vines, BRNS' "Many Chances" channels alt-J at their most menacing, and Wild Beasts at their poppiest. It's a beguiling blend of textures and harmonies from BRNS.
Timothée Philippe - drums and lead vocals - explains the video's conception:
"With BRNS, we always try to work with local talent and people with a clear identity and vision that comes through in their work. We like to hand over the reins and let the artist do his thing. With "Many Chances the process was business as usual. I'd worked at a local art compound called the Dansaert Center in Brussels and met a crew of guys working in animation, Nicolas Fong was on of them. We would have lunch and talk design, animation. A while later, i was at a film festival in Paris and saw Nicolas's first video clip which i immediately loved but didn't make the connection. When we were brainstorming ideas, his name came up and it made sense to hand it over. We all loved the fluidity, organic and psychedelic element in his work."
Nicolas Fong, the director of "Many Chances", added:
"The clip for "Many Chances" was obviously conceived and inspired by the music. It became clear to me that i needed to come up with something very progressive, a transformation BUT with the paradox of it never actually going anywhere. The lyrics deal with the thought that our acts are meaningless, pointless. The video attempts to echo that casualness, the constant internal struggle and vanity of a personal quest. It's about fighting your inner dark demons."
The track's taken from BRNS' debut Patine, which is out now on PIAS.
