Watch Swallow The Rat's Video For 'Realised' feat. Yuko Miyoshi (Memory Foam)

Tāmaki Makaurau noise-rock juggernauts Swallow The Rat have been flying anything but Under The Radar lately! Hot off the heels of their last video for total headbanger ‘Other Rooms’, the Rats and Memory Foam vocalist Yuko Miyoshi have teamed up again to unleash their latest audio-visual barrage ‘Realised’. Drummer Hayden Fritchley has once more plonked himself in the director’s seat, splicing footage of live performances, snippets of daily life and, of course, cats, into a feverish video-mosaic. 'Realised' is a layer cake of dense reverb and playful abstraction sitting atop the glacial weight of the band’s rhythm section. This is what I imagine it sounds like when a cat on acid stumbles into an aircraft hangar where several jets of different sizes are firing up their engines. A noise rock classic! Swallow the Rat and their pals in Ripship will be making their way around Aotearoa this summer to hand out some tinnitus. Don’t forget to grab a ticket here at UTR and, please, don’t forget your earplugs...
