Gary, Indiana Reveal ‘Nike of Samothrace’ Single & Video

Combining elements of post-punk, noise & electronics, Manchester’s Gary, Indiana have signed to Fire Talk Records and have shared their new single & video ‘Nike of Samothrace‘, which was directed by Will Shields. Entirely self-produced with minimal mixing and deliberately recorded in industrial spaces that speak to the raw intensity that is integral to the trio’s music, the band also draws on both the macabre filmmaking of Gaspar Noe and Leos Carax, paying specific attention to the way visuals lend themselves to create a deep dive into a whole new world.

We wanted ‘Nike of Samothrace’ to be like a blunt instrument, both lyrically and musically. It’s purely brute force, gouging away with all dials turned up full, including the gutteral bass line, which was inspired by Thomas Bangalter’s score for Irreversible and Hans Zimmer’s score for Blade Runner 2049. We’re very much driven by rhythm and movement and also wanted to experiment with a Liquid Liquid style percussive breakdown, we love when genres and dynamics are smashed together in an untidy way… we love to butcher things.
