Gentle Sinners 'Landfill' by Kieran Howe

Promonews - 9th June 2022

Kieran Howe directs gripping video for Scottish indie-folk outfit Gentle Sinners, where a man falls into a place where painful memories come flooding back.

Flipping from realism to a supernatural dark space, and introducing some striking visual edits, Howe marshals his resources to create a distinctive nightmare world, as experienced by his main character played by Evans Khumalo. He delivers an impressive performance of a man who is being confronted by his past, and desperately seeking the exit door to his torment.

It's a powerful accompaniment to Landfill, a gritty song by this 'supergroup' comprised of Aidan Moffett (of Arab Strap) and James Graham (The Twilight Sad).  

"In the same way that James and Aidan have inspired me to express these feelings, I hope this video might do the same for others. It’s been a thrill to work with them on this music video."
