PUPIL SLICER are today premiering a new music video for their track, Collective Unconscious, via Knotfest. The six and a half minute missive is taken from the band's debut full length, Mirrors, released in March of this year via Prosthetic Records. Collective Unconscious is available as a digital single featuring live versions of Mirrors Are More Fun Than Television and a cover of Converge's Concubine as b-sides. The highly stylized visual, produced by Cineoteric Films, depicts the band performing within a theatre alongside choreographed dance and performance by Liam Hill - tying together Collective Unconscious' lyrical narrative.
PUPIL SLICER recently announced February 2022 European and UK tour dates, in support of Rolo Tomassi. PUPIL SLICER's debut album, Mirrors, is out now.
Speaking on the premiere, Kate Davies (vocals / guitar) comments: "The song is about coming to terms with being trans and the amount of vitriol and unconscious bias in society around it, as well as my own internalised transphobia. Basically, after realising I was trans there wasn't any way to un-learn that fact, so there was only one option: going forward despite knowing how hard things could be. The idea of the majority of society being conditioned from birth to laugh at and dismiss everything about trans people, and there being no willingness to learn about struggles or to try to help. The way most media paints trans people is as sexual predators, just plain delusional or a threat to everyone around them. A way of coping became dissociation; disconnecting from what people say and how you feel, so that the negativity can't affect you as much, distancing yourself from your own feelings as much as you can so that you don't feel anything either way."
