Krill
Boston’s Krill are excited to share the music video for ‘Torturer‘ from their new record, A Distant Fist Unclenching. Directed by Kathleen Hancock, the video made it’s debut on NPR Music, ahead of the band’s upcoming US tour dates. Speaking about the band, NPR shared, “Seething anxiety runs through the lyrics of bassist and singer Jonah Furman, who deploys drawn-out, sentence-like phrases that tease out pent-up emotions, self-doubt and neurosis. It makes Krill’s songs feel jittery and claustrophobic one moment and satisfyingly cathartic the next, as the trio erupts”. Expanding on the video’s plot, NPR offered, “It’s all a little surreal, sure. But the story and its imagery matches the low, rumbling turmoil lurking in Krill’s complex, chaotic music.”
A Distant Fist Unclenching was released in February and recorded with Justin Pizzoferrato (Dinosaur Jr, Sonic Youth, Speedy Ortiz). Krill have found themselves on the road in support of the record since it’s release, touring with peers Speedy Ortiz, Warehouse, Mitski, Ava Luna, and Two Inch Astronaut, performing at this year’s Boston Calling Festival, as well as embarking on their first European tour.
A Distance Fist Unclenching is available to purchase on limited edition vinyl and on download via Bandcamp / iTunes.
