Video Premiere: Nick Power and Mckowski’s first folk horror offering – ‘Throat’

Throat is the new musical partnership between Mark Mckowski (The Lost Brothers) and Nick Power (The Coral).

Their first self-titled offering is described as seven minutes of surreal, often disconcerting sound. It skirts the borderlands of psychogeography, and the accompanying video by Devin Morgan and Eddie Levine is intuitively plugged into Mckowski and Power’s mindset. The result is a fascinating folk horror offering—like a bleak lysergic-fuelled version of The Wicker Man; it’s unnerving but strangely leaves wanting more.

Like discovering a cassette buried in the dirt, decayed by time, filled up with field recordings of plucked strings, footsteps, theremin and cardboard box percussion, mystery music that unfurls with the addition of a walkie-talkie vocal and an ominous, descending analogue bass sound.
