STIFF CATS – ‘Splinter’

What works for this video does so in an extremely well way. Drawing upon something that is able to capably process the fine worth of the underlying rawness int he way it sounds suits the darker calling here. The trapeze artist adds a neat visual with the choreography of the performance being a key visual aspect. The fluidity of the movement is highly active but also notably considered for the way it seems to evoke a splendour that works in an impartial way here. In how it is shot there is Trent Reznor appeal to it, though this avoids a kitsch and becomes something raw in its own right that more than holds up. There is also a neat servitude ground out from the playing that knowingly plays to the strengths of the band.
