New video: Leashes – ‘Between the Lines’
The new single from London-based heavy quartet Leashes is an instant attention-grabber. Opening with driving guitars and harsh vocals, it quickly progresses through a variety of vocal styles and melodies which twist and contort through their own irregular narrative. Aggressive yet desolate. This is all held together by the sense of urgency and gravity behind the track.
The inspiration for the song came from the turbulent political situation in Britain following the Brexit referendum, as the band state:
“This song was inspired heavily from what Brexit referendum brought to this country and the world. All this toxicity, the painful realization that lies of the few could be so powerful and persuasive that they pushed many people down the path of hate – it’s still a pill hard to swallow, especially because most of us are immigrants in the UK. But this song is also about the destructive nature of human actions as a whole towards our planet and thus towards humankind itself. It bears this feeling of alienation on a very personal level, being lost in this thoughtless, greed-ridden, sick society that is gradually getting stripped of basic rights and freedoms without realizing it, not being able to read between the lines.”
The distortion of the music, accompanied by warped camera angles in the video, seemingly mimics the warped nature of society and emphasises the prevailing sense of unease felt by many.
