Having recently announced details of their fifth album, ‘Sundiver’, Boston Manor have premiered a video for their latest single – ‘Heat Me Up’.
The monochrome video was directed by Tom Dream who called Boston Manor his “new favourite band”. “Their sound combines the best elements of my favourite 90s bands, but with even more massive production,” he explained before commenting on the making and aim of the video.
“We shot the video at my new location house in Kent, which perfectly matched the vision we had in mind for this track. My hope was to blend a 1950s Palm Springs black-and-white aesthetic with the quaint, eerie feel of the English countryside.”
It’s no doubt the clip complements the blissful, love-swept lyrical tone ‘Heat Me Up’ offers.
“‘Heat Me Up’ is a love song. It’s about realising that what you have is so precious you would do anything to protect it and nurture it,” stated Boston Manor vocalist Henry Cox. “We set out to work with Tom Dream on this project, he’s somebody we’ve wanted to work with for ages, so we were over the moon that we could make the collaboration happen for ‘Heat Me Up’. He was so great to work with, and watching him interpret the song with such creativity and vision was really inspiring. We had so much fun making the video.”
‘Sundiver’ is released on September 6th via SharpTone Records. Boston Manor will be playing at next weekend’s 2000Trees Festival before their headline tour in September. Support comes from Trophy Eyes and Split Chain.
