The Sleeping Souls Share “Scared Of Living” Animated Video Ahead Of UK Tour Dates

Ahead of their debut UK tour this January The Sleeping Souls have shared the Mihaly Sipos directed video for Scared Of Living. The track is about the Orwellian, screen-dominated world we find ourselves living in, the Scared of Living video comments on the cheap dopamine thrills we find ourselves seeking through virtually constructed realities. Flitting between slick video game-esque graphics and elegant real world imagery, the video offers a stylish and thought provoking companion to the track’s dystopian lyrical themes. Scared of Living is extracted from their exhilarating debut album, Just Before The World Starts Burning, that is out now through Xtra Mile Recordings.

“”Living your life through cameras and apps isn’t living. Everyone is trying to live up to a version of themselves that doesn’t really exist in the real world, and you can’t have your own opinions for fear of being lambasted publicly. Even though we’ve moved forward technologically, old institutions still inform everything we do. We need to break free, but at what cost”

The Sleeping Souls will be heading out on their first ever UK headline tour in January 2024, accompanied by co-headliner Sean McGowan with support from Hannah Rose Platt. The tour will mark The Sleeping Souls‘ first live appearances outside of their usual day jobs of touring with Frank Turner. Tickets for all dates are now on sale here.
