Following on from the enormous success of her comeback single ‘Cut Me Down’, which has since received huge support from BBC 6Music since its release, Liverpool-based Louisa Roach’s band She Drew The Gun have now unveiled the official video for their latest effort, lifted from the newly announced album Behave Myself out 24th September 2021 via Submarine Cat Records.
Inspired by the Chilean Las Tesis protests, where women performed a song and dance blindfolded to condemn violence against them, the new video for ‘Cut Me Down’ takes this concept to create a vivid and intense watch. Performed by dancer Tilly Woodward, the new visuals channel the blistering and pulsing energy of the song and transform it into a rich and mesmerising accompaniment.
Speaking about the new video, Louisa said, “The video is Inspired by the Las Tesis collective protests in Chile where thousands of women took to the streets and performed a song and dance using blindfolds in protest of structural state violence against women. It brought a whole new level to the idea of a protest song, and spread around the world becoming a transnational feminist act of solidarity. The video captures a performance by dancer Tilly Woodward who embraced the meaning of the song, and brought it to life with her interpretation. She is brilliant.”
Produced by Ross Orton who has worked with Arctic Monkeys, The Kills, The Fall, M.I.A, Working Men’s Club, and countless others, ‘Cut Me Down’ is taken from newly announced album Behave Myself, her third full release following Revolution of Mind, and cult debut Memories Of Another Future. Both the albums have recently grabbed the spotlight of Tim Burgess’ much loved Listening Party. Pre-order the album HERE.
