The Slow Readers Club share video for new single ‘All I Hear’

The Slow Readers Club have shared the video for their new single, ‘All I Hear’, the first track to be taken from their upcoming fourth album, The Joy Of The Return, out March 20th via Modern Sky UK.

The video was produced in collaboration with Chris from Croftwerk and the band’s lighting designer, Ash, and sees an animated 3D representation of a six-sided parabola, which started life as a paper sculpture by Ruth Pestell.

The sculpture was then mapped point-by-point and run through software that emulates origami and projected onto and behind the band while they perform, creating an immersive background that pulsates and intensifies along with the track’s infectious and anthemic climax.

“It was great to work with our friend and visual collaborator Chris on this video,” say the band. “Seeing the graphics from the album come to life around us was a really cool experience. Can’t wait to see what people make of it.”

Recorded at Parr Street Studios in Liverpool and produced by long-standing collaborator Phil Bulleyment, The Joy Of The Return marks a significant change in the band’s process, with their extensive touring allowing them time to write and develop tracks and arrangements through soundchecks and back-of-van jams.

The Slow Readers Club will embark on an extensive tour throughout the UK and EU in March, April and May, including shows in Edinburgh, Birmingham, Bristol and London’s Electric Ballroom, with many close to selling out. Full dates can be found below.
