2015. Palma Violets, “English Tongue” video screenshot

The last time we visited the raucous music video world of Palma Violets, they were playing the title track of their upcoming sophomore LP in a dimly lit pub to a few soused patrons. While the London-based band has stuck to filming in their hometown, this time around, the garage-rock quartet seems to have found their faithful congregation in a west London church.

“English Tongue,” the second song to be released from Danger In The Club, is a bouncy lament about the paranoia surrounding getting old. It’s fitting then, that the video for this fuzzed out, organ-filled track features an old and creepy preacher (Paul Kaye) who leads the UK band into the small church full of impressionable and ready-to-rock youths.

Major props to Palma Violets in this video, though, for a slow-motion walk that even Noel Gallagher would be impressed with.
