BIG SPECIAL’s Stunning Visuals for ‘BLACK DOG / WHITE HORSE’ Featuring Kate Dickie

Enthralling audiences with a compelling blend of music and narrative, BIG SPECIAL takes the stage with the release of their new music video for ‘BLACK DOG / WHITE HORSE’. Featuring the talents of Kate Dickie, known for her roles in Game of Thrones and Star Wars, the video is a captivating visual realization of the struggle against inner demons and the quest for connection.
As the poignant words of lead singer Joe Hicklin resonate, ‘BLACK DOAG / WHITE HORSE’ delves into the realms of fear, troubling thoughts, and the cycles of depression. This song is an anthem for those grappling with such troubles, an offering of solidarity to the lost and overlooked as they navigate the increasing trials of modern existence.
Hicklin’s prose draws a haunting parallel between the searing heat of trials and the relief that love and compassion can bring, as depicted by the metaphor of the wren aiding the snake. This is the essence captured within the larger narrative of their debut album ‘POSTINDUSTRIAL HOMETOWN BLUES’.
An honest reflection of working-class life through the lens of mental illness, pursuit of artistry, and political disillusionment, the album doesn’t pretend to have all the answers. Instead, it provides an authentic tapestry of experiences, ripe with raw emotion, love, hope, and a shared understanding of humanity’s collective battles.
