Merseyside producer Matthew Barnes aka Forest Swords shares tense video for the song “Panic” taken from his album “Compassion” out last May via Ninja Tune.
The sensation of tension comes from the dancers who elegantly twirl until they are completely tied in ropes. Directed by Forest Swords himself alongside audio-visual collaborator Sam Wiehl, the video evolves around the stress of the song as he explains it himself:
Most of the tracks on “Compassion” were started in quite a heavy place but all managed to move towards the light the longer I worked on them. “Panic” is the point where tension and stress boils over into a sort of euphoria.
Forest Swords also announced a tour through Europe and North America and you can check the dates below. You can follow him over Facebook, Twitter, Soundcloud and listen to the audio below.
