The Bravery

WEEKEND VIDEO

"Slow Poison" Stir the Blood 2009 iTunes

Between prepping the release of their new album, Stir the Blood, and branching out creatively, the Bravery have been busy lately. It's no surprise that the video for their new single, "Slow Poison," is just a bit trippy.

"Synesthesia is when your brain sees music as colors. That is what my brain does, and these are the colors I see when I hear this song," lead vocalist Sam Endicott tells Spinner of the video's concept. "As in the song, the astronaut is lost, searching for his angel. Except, in the video, she's a sexy space cyber solaris siren. In space."

While working on Stir the Blood, due out on December 1, Endicott also started writing for other artists; most notably, he co-wrote Shakira's international hit "She Wolf" with John Hill. Bassist Mike Hindert worked with a number of bands on the side, and launched the label Merrifield Records. Keyboardist John Conway built a studio in California, where he helped write and record guitarist Michael Zakarin's solo album.

Meanwhile, the "Slow Poison" video — directed by Ryan Honey and Orion Tait — was shot in Atlanta on October 19, between stops on the band's current tour.
