Pleiades have released a video for their new single Amos Clift, taken from their upcoming debut album Affinity With.
“Amos Clift is really a track that sits at the core of the storytelling in Affinity With,” comments vocalist Andrew Calderbank. “The story is told from the perspective of lighthouse keeper Amos Clift, observing the Egg War of 1863 in San Francisco where food shortages caused by the population boom from California’s Gold Rush lead to an all out war between rival gangs over seabird eggs on the nearby Farallon Islands.
“Clift’s character is used as a guide to recount how desperation and hunger led to mass greed and violence, holding a magnifying glass to the inherent and destructive flaws of human nature.”
Affinity With is due for release on 29th September 2023, available to pre-order HERE.
