The Black Watch have by no means been followers of music movies. “We don’t take pleasure in making them or watching them a lot, both,” says John Andrew Fredrick matter-of-factly. “And we’ve been badly burned by a few megalomaniac administrators.”
Fredrick is the only real fixed in a California-based indie-rock establishment that’s been remarkably prolific by itself phrases for nearly 4 a long time—although not often on the expense of high quality. Out right now, For All The World (Atom) is the group’s twenty fifth launch and (surprisingly) its first double album. To mark the event, they went the DIY route and made the video for “Lord Marchpane” themselves.
“I wrote somewhat script that illustrates the animus of the track’s narrator towards the titular character, Lord Marchpane, a prissy, whining, fussy, snob of a author I simply would possibly know in actual life,” says Fredrick, who’s additionally a novelist, visible artist and school professor. “I went procuring at Michael’s for just a few colourful props, and producer/bandmate Andy Creighton shot it at his home right here in Los Angeles. He stunned us all by actually inhabiting the a part of Marchpane. Nereida Andrade—who’s performed cello reside every so often in TBW—was sort sufficient to come back play the third aspect of a not-exactly-love triangle.”
We’re proud to premiere the Black Watch’s “Lord Marchpane” video.
