The Jury and The Saints Bassist Ivan Beets über die neue Single:
"'The best way to describe 'Focus' is as fully loaded Punk energy transforming into an ethereal hymn. Exploring the moment when a person realizes that they have become the excuse for someone else’s mistakes, the right words fail them – they lose their focus".
Mit dem Einsatz mehrerer Bildebenen setzt die Band diese Momente perfekt im Video um.
Gedreht wurde das Bildmaterial auf einem mehr als 100 Jahre alten Bauernhof an der ungezähmten Westküste Neuseelands, um genau zu sein auf der zerklüfteten kleinen Halbinsel Awhitut.
In einem kurzen Statement gibt Ivan Beets auch bereits einen kleinen Einblick in die Arbeiten zum Debutalbum:
"As a band we have always captured our ideas quickly, we want the driving force of a song, or a live show, to be the initial creative spark - this album was no exception. The songs were written in New Zealand with a focus on capturing the most energetic, intense and real album that we could. SPV introduced us to Alex Lysjakow who ended up producing the album over a 2 week period (in the middle of a European tour) at SoundArt Studio in Germany. Due to living in different countries we didn’t have much time to get to know Alex so there was as lot of trust involved, which we feel really helped the whole process. Because everyone was focused on working hard and getting things done, decisions were made based on gut instinct rather than lengthy discussions. Throughout this process, Alex's background of rock production helped us achieve the energy and authenticity that we were after. Playing live is a huge part of who we are, so it was crucial that the songs and the recordings captured the raw energy and life that we want people to feel when they watch us at a show. We always want our audience to feel like they are part of what we do, and this record reflects that intent with songs that are easy to connect with. We don’t care about making a technical album, we care about making music that translates both in the studio and live, music that hopefully moves people, music that makes you have to sing, music that connects because its coming from a place of energy and honesty.”
