Polish Club up the power bill in retina-frying video for new single,\u00a0Clarity.<\/a>\u00a0The future is shiny AF in Polish Club’s new video. CLARITY is a megawatt explosion of electricity captured by filmmaker Yoav Lester on a vast Melbourne sound stage in September.\u00a0The massive new song’s theme of mental overload is reflected in a dazzling barrage of synchronised floodlights and the typically intense collision of one drum kit, one Fender stack and two men in black.<\/p>\n Check out the video\u00a0HERE<\/a><\/p>\n “A performance piece for a song titled Clarity kind of threw my mind immediately into fog, light, and space,” the director says. “Novak and John-Henry were legends. Performing like rock stars for seven hours straight, mostly at double speed.”<\/p>\n “Conceptually the idea was to play around with smoke and focus,” says drummer John-Henry, “but making a music vid is such a weird process it ended up being more about the lighting rig, which turned out to be pretty cool.\u00a0To be honest, I\u2019m not really a performance video clip kinda guy\u2026unless it\u2019s that Audioslave one with the fireworks. But Yoav made us look cool, which is a fucking hard thing to do.”<\/p>\n Clarity is an electrifying first taste of the Sydney rock soul-duo’s second album, due early 2019: a future so bright you better wear blast goggles. Currently under construction at The Grove Studios near Gosford. From glam-slamming guitar riffs to one of the most insane drum fills of all time, it’s a soul-funk party starter with a dark undertow that won’t, ever, leave you alone.<\/p>\n “It’s still basically just me on drums and Novak on guitar and vocals,” drummer John-Henry says, “but we’ve found ourselves writing music with more layers, more parts. We’re spending a lot more time thinking about songs and about recording. It’s definitely a different process to the last album.”<\/p>\n Lyrically,\u00a0Clarity<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is a plea from the churning vortex of modern existence that heralds a slightly more serious phase in the songwriters’ headspace.<\/p>\n “It’s a mental scene rather than a specific one,” says fuel-injected singer\/ guitarist Novak. “It’s about the struggle of communication; not being able or eloquent or ballsy enough to say what you’re thinking; being at the end of your tether with confusion, wanting to be clear with yourself and others.”<\/p>\n As yet untitled, album #2 is again taking shape under the steady hand of producer Wade Keighran, this time with the added expertise of Texas-based mix maestro\u00a0John Congleton (St. Vincent, Modest Mouse, Franz Ferdinand).<\/strong><\/p>\n The new project has forsaken the inner-city grind to spread out both creatively and physically in the Grove Studios, originally built by INXS bassist Gary Garry Beers in the verdant countryside north of Sydney,<\/p>\n For now, best hold onto something. There’s a whole new beast coming.<\/p>\n CLARITY<\/em>\u00a0IS OUT OCTOBER 5<\/strong><\/p>\n UK \/ EU\u00a0 Shows<\/strong><\/p>\n 22 October – Sebright Arms \u2013 London, UK<\/p>\n Germany w\/ Razz & Abay<\/strong> WEBSITE:\u00a0http:\/\/polishclub.co<\/a><\/p>\n FACEBOOK:\u00a0https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/bestpolishclub\/<\/a><\/p>\n INSTAGRAM:\u00a0https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/bestpolishclub\/<\/a><\/p>\n SPOTIFY:\u00a0https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/2tYm7UbTKfLXw7Jsp0xyzD<\/a><\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/ci6.googleusercontent.com\/proxy\/cd2xMDHD5UgT0TKByCC-BPYYszb-eyBO31XQFChx0gCMwAU5MzLYIWpD0iBUZW5fCebHgiPnXepKss28CA48YFnI3IanoET8z8jQrOFmz-rDTF53hIgtqnc25Es8BXbZha0OZqbXLfBkzwkBje-LjtrhXgyo6ZDvVlLPRlk=s0-d-e1-ft#https:\/\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/53988077f9c04730c7150cd9f\/images\/bfaf8df6-c894-415c-b993-f92c63ef1ac8.png\")
