Dinosaur Pile-Up have released an animated video for Round The Bend, taken from their latest album Celebrity Mansions.
“Round The Bend is about being at the very edge of your emotional strength,” explains frontman Matt Bigland. “I wrote it when I was at a breaking point of sorts, where I felt like what I’d been trying to make happen with the band for 12 years wasn’t in fact going to happen. When I wrote the song and whenever I listened to the demo, I’d imagine this short film playing out in my head – the story was extremely vivid in my mind and really heart breaking. Seeing yourself immortalised as a cartoon is always a trip, but the end result had us all bouncing off the walls!”
Check out the video, which was created by Toon53 Productions, below!
