New Pagans have released a video for their latest single Yellow Room, directed by bassist Claire Miskimmin.
Yellow Room is a voice for mothers in the music industry and highlights the need for more support for women with perinatal mental health needs, especially in Northern Ireland.
“Yellow Room is the fourth instalment in a series of self-made folk horror themed short films produced to accompany our music,” says vocalist Lyndsey McDougall. “Set in the stunning local surroundings of Northern Ireland, we tried to evoke a sense of dread and isolation in the expanse of nature. In stifling a woman’s mind we take away her liberty, as in the novel the song is based on – ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’. It’s about the facade and the masks we wear, but break the surface and we find our protagonist’s strength. She cuts herself free and is set adrift.”
