New Video: Campfire Social - It's Not Goodbye (To Those We Left Behind)
NoNewWaveNoFun favourites Campfire Social return with a video for their new single 'It's Not Goodbye (To Those We Left Behind', released today. The single is the bands' first release since August 2020 single 'Awake In The Wake Of A Wave' and will feature on the 6 track 'Everything's Changed' E.P, scheduled for release in March on Mai 68 Records. You can buy the single at their Bandcamp page below.
2019 saw the band set sail as guests of Belle and Sebastian along with Mogwai, The Buzzcocks, Teenage Fanclub et al on a jaunt round the Med - a true highlight in their blossoming career. 2020 was set to be busy year for them too with a slot confirmed for the SXSW Festival in Austin; before the obvious curtailed their plans. They'll be performing live virtually for the world's largest showcase festival between March 16th-20th.
.
Like many bands and artists, Campfire Social took the time off to write new material and re-asses their place in the world and we'll be doing a full review of the E.P when it's released on March 19th.
The video is a testament to the creativity needed to create something visually inventive, whilst remaining poignant and adding to the beauty of the music in a time when options are limited. It sees singer Thomas Hyndman alone in a music venue (Telford's Warehouse in Chester fact fans..) looking forlorn at the empty stage, before he has a brain wave. Without giving too much away, he has a revelation akin to Tom Hanks' character in Castaway and recreates a live show in a surreal and poignant moment. Take a look at the video below and follow Campfire Social on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
