Atmospheric Indie rockers The Institutes have released an updated version of the fan favourite “INSIDE OUT” - and rebooted it with a new mix and strings arrangement, to celebrate the release of a re-pressing of their debut album Colosseums, which will be available as a 180g heavyweight ‘splatter’ vinyl (out 17 March, via 42’s Records).
With the first vinyl pressing selling out in 2022, the repressing is available pre-order now here.
A spokesperson explains: “Marking the new album reissue, the band have created a lush new version of “Inside Out”, as a new digital single. Enhanced by a new string arrangement and layered with ethereal ambient soundscapes that build on a solid groove to an explosion of guitars.”
Speaking about the themes within the track and how this new version came together, Hally, co-songwriter and lead guitarist said: “Inside Out is an insight into the struggles of the modern-day adult - a search for the coping mechanisms of day-to-day commitments, that can feel empty and unrewarding, but inside the struggle there is hope, we just need to find it.
“We’re all fans of the indie orchestral marriage of tunes such as Bittersweet Symphony, F.E.A.R, Whatever by Oasis but also the mood and journey Radiohead create with their arrangements… Myself and recent addition to the band, Alan Ferguson, wrote a string arrangement, working around the build of the song trying to achieve something more epic, without crossing the line and it sounding like a Disney score! The wonderful Julia Violinista kindly performed the arrangement, and we remixed the track with her added strings.”
“Inside Out” arrives with a brand new official music video, featuring a performance from acclaimed Scottish actor Steven Cree (Outlander, Terminator: Dark Fate, Churchill, Maleficent).
Introduced to the band by none other than Robert Carlyle, Hally explains the story of the new visual collaboration: “Out of the blue Scottish actor Robert Carlyle (Begbie in Trainspotting!) contacted us to tell us how much he loved the song and at the same time introduced us to his friend, and as we now know, all round top bloke and a fellow Scottish actor, Steven Cree, with a view to working on a film to go with the song.
“This was a massive compliment, and we were over the moon. Over a few beers with Steven an idea formed to bring to life the story of “INSIDE OUT” on film, with Cree as the lead protagonist. We shot the film and Phil from our label 42’s Records suggested we update the recording to match the emotion contained in the film, and release this as a single… Steven Cree is a genius and perfectly conveys these raw emotions in his powerful leading performance in the accompanying film – the geezer deserves an Oscar.”
“INSIDE OUT” will be the final release from The Institutes’ debut album ‘COLOSSEUMS’, before the band head into the studio to record a set of new songs.
Already written and demoed, these new tracks asre said to mostly remain unheard, apart from those that have managed to creep into the band’s current live set and will be showcased on the upcoming “Inside Out” Tour.
