Anathema have released a new video for their track Can’t Let Go.
It’s taken from the band’s latest album The Optimist which scooped the coveted Album Of The Year honour at last week’s Progressive Music Awards.
Anathema have decided to release the promo to celebrate the award and to mark the start of their UK and European tour which gets under way later this week.
The band’s Vincent Cavanagh says: “This video is a scene in The Optimist’s story – his vain attempt to outrun his imminent collapse, haunted by the ghosts of his past.
“It was shot as an immersive experience in 360 degrees by our friend Omeed Izadyar. The location follows the story northwards from 32.63n 117.14w through Los Angeles, San Francisco and into Oregon.”
After receiving the Album Of The Year award at the Underglobe in London on Thursday night, Daniel Cavanagh said: “This was the one we wanted. Voted by the readers. I can tell by the reaction of the rest of the band that this meant a lot.
“The album was difficult to make and we put everything into it. So, it feels so nice to be recognised in this way. Many thanks to all!”
