Music Video: The Grates "Turn Me On"

The Grates (or at least two out of three of them…) are back! They have delivered a brilliant new music video for “Turn Me On”, taken from their new album Secret Rituals, out June 17.

The clip was directed by Dimitri Basil, who has provided a little bit of extra info: “The main concept was to make a video reminiscent of Goddard’s Alpha Ville. After meeting the band and brainstorming ideas, the concept transformed into this dark and playful video of elusive imagery that hints towards the album’s name “Secret Rituals”. I thought that putting all these absurd metaphysical elements and esoteric rituals ending with a vortex will give some sort of conclusion to the series of bizarre spells John and Patience summon on the clip, but then again it could all simply be healthy randomness.” – Dimitri Basil

The Grates will be hitting the road for the Secret Rituals tour in June, followed by support shows for The Hives and On The Bright Side and Splendour in the Grass.
