With just over a week to go until the release of The Apple Drop<\/em>, Liars<\/a> have shared a new single called ‘From What the Never Was’ and an accompanying video featuring album collaborators Laurence Pike and Cameron Deyell. It closes their trilogy of videos with direction by Clemens Habicht, following \u2018Sekwar<\/a>\u2019 and \u2018Big Appetite<\/a>\u2019. Angus Andrew comments:<\/p>\n \u201c\u2018From What the Never Was\u2019 is intended as a moment of recollection within the journey of The Apple Drop; a point that our traveller has reached which is far from the starting place, but also right back there in memory. The drum sound was appropriated from an old song called \u2018We Fenced Other Gardens with the Bones of Our Own\u2019. In that track, the protagonist is drunk on delusions of grandeur, relishing the power of destruction. Now far removed, that character is weary, remorseful.<\/p>\n In preparation for the video, I went back to the \u2018Sekwar\u2019 cave to map it three-dimensionally. Instructed by a digital artist in NYC (Dan Moore), I strapped a 360-degree camera to my head and paced the lengths of the cave\u2019s interior. The resulting data was transformed into a wireframe model and featured as a hologram in \u2018FWTNW\u2019. The cave\u2019s positioning right beneath another location manifests the premise of the song. You\u2019re in the \u201csame spot\u201d but understanding it from a completely new perspective. My experience in revisiting that space alone was both psychologically informative and disturbing. The slow, methodical steps required to document the dark depths of the cave\u2019s interior invited the company of bats and of fear.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Director Clemens Habicht also had this to say about it:<\/p>\n \u201cAngus and his crew are subjected to the traumas and melodramas of classic sci-fi tropes, brutalised by the sadism of scenes from films I think I was probably way too young to have seen as a kid. Only Liars would entertain and embrace my trepanning fantasies. Like any mission, this was only possible by the absolute commitment of everyone involved. Special thanks to DOP Tyson Perkins for signing up for another adventure, and to Beau and her team for their absolute generosity and excitement.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Now watch the video for ‘From What the Never Was’ below:<\/p>\n\n
