Mattiel - Blood In The Yolk Video

Mattiel's latest video, for their new track - 'Blood In The Yolk', takes it's inspiration from a 1969 Sergei Parajanov film, 'The Color of Pomegranates'. Mattiel's film, to accompany the band's new single, is a reference to the "avant-garde" film "about the life of the revered 18th-century Armenian poet and musician Sayat-Nova" and was shot using costumes that Mattiel Brown had designed and made. 

The whole concept for Mattiel's new video was written, concieved and edited by the very talented lead singer of the band and was directed by David James Swanson (Lady Gaga/The White Stripes/The Dead Weather/Jack White etc). 

When asked recently about the new track Mattiel Brown said - "When Jonah first wrote the structure to 'Blood In The Yolk', it took me a while to compose my writing and decide how I wanted to approach it with lyrics and melody. I remember being a little frustrated with my lack of ideas in the beginning, but he gave me a pep-talk to keep me going, and we ended up writing a song that is so near and dear to my heart now. It was also the first song on the album that felt easy for me to visualise, so I spent a long time thinking about how the video would come together. It’s heavily inspired by the 1969 film 'Color of Pomegranates' directed by Sergei Parajanov - which, if you haven’t seen it, is probably one of the most beautiful films ever made".

The third single from Mattiel's third album, 'Georgia Gothic', follows on from the lead single 'Jeff Goldblum' and last month's release - 'Lighthouse' and is, according to Brown, "one of my favourite songs Jonah and I have ever written together, and I feel so lucky that this is our job". 

'Georgia Gothic' will be released on 18th March via Heavenly Recordings.
