Synopsis

Shot in stark black and white, the video presents Simian Ghost in an intimate performance setting shaped by close-ups, soft focus, and shifting light. The band's restrained movements and the sparse visual treatment give the clip a dreamlike, memorial quality, allowing the song's atmosphere to lead rather than imposing a literal narrative. Its monochrome imagery and futuristic melancholy create a clear visual connection to Broadcast, making the video feel like a quiet audiovisual remembrance of Trish Keenan.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The song is explicitly dedicated to Trish Keenan, the singer of British experimental pop group Broadcast, who died in 2011 after contracting H1N1.
  • Simian Ghost originally had an older song idea that was substantially reworked after the band noticed that its melody recalled Broadcast. The dedication grew out of that musical connection.
  • The band described the lyrics as an abstract reflection on loss and on the feeling that people who have died can still remain emotionally present.
  • The video's clean black-and-white performance style reinforces the tribute without turning it into a literal biography of Keenan. Its visual language deliberately complements the song's Broadcast-inspired sound.
  • "Echoes Of Songs (For Trish Keenan)" appears on Simian Ghost's 2014 album "The Veil" and was also issued as a single with remixes, including a rework by electronic musician Luke Abbott.
