Traces embrace Big Brother in new clip

US post-hardcore outfit, Traces, have embraced George Orwell's worst nightmare of a global surveillance dystopia for their new video.

US post-hardcore outfit Traces have embraced George Orwell's worst nightmare of a global surveillance dystopia for their new video.

With footage of cities and crowds being watched by an omnipresent system in the film clip, all the band needs is their own Party lines and a political scapegoat for the public to hate and they'll be all good.

This new song, and subsequently their debut self-titled release, drops in early April, and was produced by From First To Last's guitarist/songwriter Matt Good. 

Check out the Orwellian video below.
