SOOT SPRITE WIELD YOUR HOPE LIKE A WEAPON

Exeter alt-trio Soot Sprite have shared the music video for their newest track 'Wield Your Hope Like A Weapon'. Musically, it’s an impressive blend of shimmering melodies and raw, powerful energy; a reflection of the band’s transition from a one-woman bedroom pop project into a blend of shoegaze and indie. The video is a juxtaposing response to the serious content of the track, which is a rallying cry against apathy. They say: “We wanted it to be a silly video for a pretty serious track, and spent a day prancing about the Bath Spa uni grounds making this video, our friends pitched in all the props and our friends Joe Kime and Glenn Saitch kindly offered their days to do incredible extra work, everyone fully sent it and our faces collectively hurt from laughing the whole day away.” The band released their self-titled debut album last month and will be touring the UK this June. -Dan Peeke
