Freedom To Glide Tackle Shellshock History With A Better Way
. It's taken from their EP Sick To Death, available now, which follows well-received debut album Rain. It continues Pete Riley and Andy Nixon's exploration of the lives of infantrymen in the 1914-18 conflict. Nixon tells Prog: "Making of the EP and the video have both been incredibly moving. We knew what we wanted to say and we knew what we wanted to see - but we weren't prepared for what we'd feel when we edited the film." The song was inspired during a visit to the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire, where the pair found themselves speechless as they visited the monument to troops who were shot at dawn for cowardice instead of receiving treatment for the psychological results of warfare. Riley says: "A lot of those who were executed were seasoned frontline seasoned men who just couldn't go on anymore. They'd given everything they had. They weren't cowards; they were suffering from shell shock, or post-traumatic stress disorder, as we now know it to be." Read more and watch the video here.
