Paul Cooke frames metalcore band Ithaca in a 1970s TV show, presented by comedian Ed Gamble - the first hint that there will be high jinx ahead. The video for Fluorescent, subverts the classic TV performance with glitching bandmembers, red balaclavas and a bucketload of blood - and singer Djamila's funeral. "On the back of the success of Ithaca's second record They Fear Us - Kerrang's #2 album of 2022... - the idea for the Fluorescent video was to lean heavily into the aesthetic of the album artwork," says Cooke."We wanted to achieve a 70s texture and look, without it being pastiche or ironic - aiming for Old Grey Whistle Test meets Dario Argento."
