The video for ‘Killjoy’ elevates the joyful off-kilter colours of the track, humbly and skillfully directed by Meredith’s long term collaborator Ewan Jones Morris. The band roll and dance in flowing lines before snapping into unison following the choreography of David Ogle - all framed by a circle of GoPros.

Meredith says on the track “I’ve ALWAYS wanted to do a dance routine video and always had in the back of my mind that Killjoy - with lead vocals by my amazing drummer, Sam Wilson - would be the perfect track for it.”

“I knew it’d be a huge ask as (in case it's not obvious) NONE of us are remotely trained or even (booze pending) willing dancers but we worked with brilliant choreographer David Ogle and he made something so much more cool and ambitious than I expected which meant we had to practise together every moment we could.”
