Frail Body‘s new album “Artificial Bouquet” will be out on March 29th, and to help drive home that fact, the screamo outfit have released a video for the record’s latest single, “Horizon Line“. Vocalist/guitarist Lowell Shaffer commented of that animated clip, which was directed and animated by Torey Kervick:
“‘Horizon Line‘ is about the worst day of my life. Frail Body was in the middle of a tour that I shouldn’t have agreed to as my mother was terminal. I got a text when we rolled into Colorado Springs that my mother was going to the emergency room and probably wouldn’t be coming back. I also had a sinus infection at the time. The low point of being physically sick and returning home in shame as a son who deserted his duties to family as my mother was dying made me question a lot of my motivations, goals, and my friendships and the power that they hold over me.
My mother passed away a few days later. I was able to be home, but I made a decision, and it was the wrong one, but I also wasn’t sure that this band would stay together if I didn’t commit to it. So now this whole thing exists as a self constructed pillar of my shame and failure to my loved ones.”
