Previously unseen, candid images of Catfish and the Bottlemen in the studio, on the road and enjoying downtime feature in the video for Conversation, the latest single to emerge from the band’s hit, third album, The Balance. Out now on Island Records, the video blends shots from the band’s private archive to create an intimate portrait of life in one of Britain’s most-successful and tight-knit bands.

Produced by Trunk Animation, who also created the 2018 animated promo for The Beatles’ Glass Onion, the short film animates and treats photographs with swathes of colour – an exciting change in visual approach for the typically monochromatic quartet.
