Single Mothers Explore Cult Mentality
Punk outfit Single Mothers has launched a new video which is a combo for 2 songs: "Patricide" and "Feel Shame."
The video follows the band's blistering first European headline run, and comes just as the band is performing at Barcelona's Primavera Sound festival this weekend. The next Single Mothers visit to the U.S. will be in mid-July at Pitchfork Festival in Chicago.
Of the video, director Sean McLeod says “The video for 'Patricide / Feel Shame' follows a particularly devious cult leader as he guides his flock through their final sacrament. Furthermore, it explores the idea of feeling lost or directionless, and how the need for belonging and validation can lead to potentially dangerous groupthink.
"I have always been fascinated by cults; specifically how cult leaders can create a power dynamic so one-sided they can lead people to their own deaths, willingly. Conceptually, the video explores the abuse of trust and power that are emblematic of different leaders associated with various institutions. In 'Patricide / Feel Shame,' 'Patricide' represents the cult leader’s outsider views - which he presents to his flock - while 'Feel Shame' represents his inner thoughts, serving as the mantra that powers his ruthlessness.” More...
