Swallow the Rat share new single and video 'Chain Mail'

Swallow the Rat has just released a corporeal video for their new single 'Chain Mail', made by Tauranga-based multimedia artist Kyle Sattler.

'Chain Mail' pokes fun at scripted media announcements from political parties in Aotearoa – or announcements within announcements, as the case may be.

When the song was presented to Sattler, he'd been working on some stop motion animation and said he had an idea for a video involving figurative collage. He was given free reign to create his response to the song, and used elements of the lyrics as inspiration, particularly the theme of evil.  

'Chain Mail' is the fourth single from Swallow the Rat's highly-acclaimed second album South Locust, released in September last year via US/UK label Shifting Sounds.
