U.K. post-punk band Low Harness has unveiled their new song “Bloodplay” today.

The song comes with a music video directed by vocalist and guitarist Hannah Gledhill, which can be seen here. Gledhill had this to say about the track and its accompanying visual:

"Bloodplay is about the lengths people go to for pleasure, to escape from the banality of everyday existence and act out their most subversive urges. Even if we do not give in to these fantasies, or are too afraid to realise them: a place exists in our imagination where we cannot be judged playing them out.

The video was shot in an abandoned leisure centre which served as a perfect fantasy backdrop for this song where the subject was able to daydream in complete isolation. It stars “Pink Baby” local drag artist and passionate advocate for Falmouth’s queer community, Through her love of dance and adoration of the colour pink, Pink Baby explores themes of gender oppression, disability rights, and queer joy in her performances."

“Bloodplay” stems from Low Harness’ debut album Salvo, which will be released on December 6 via Krautpop. Pre-orders for the album can be made here.

Low Harness will have a trek across the U.K. next month. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now.
