Ahead of their Observatory album launch party at Victoria Dalston on Friday 27th, DIY-pop purveyors Dignan Porch have unveiled the video for ‘Forever Unobscured’, made by drummer Philippa Bloomfield, with help from Mike Prior. It’s a tale of murder in the countryside, featuring deranged monsters and UFO’s, all captured on VHS. Watch it below…

Starting life as a one-man bedroom project for band leader Joseph Walsh, Dignan Porch has now blossomed in to a ramshackle group of perpetually laid-back sounding humans creating music that straddles the lines between psychedelia, folk, indie pop and grunge. Attracting a large cult following with every release, the band have been on headline tours of the UK, Europe, and US, which saw them driving over 9000 miles around the country with no tour manager or budget, and sleeping on floors every night.

When The Porch kick out the jams they give the impression that they’re careering along with only a couple of wheels still on the road, just about in control, but always on the verge of tipping over. There is a sadness that lurks beneath many of these rough-around-the-edges pop songs, a blurry-eyed realisation of the boredom of everyday life that seems to creep in to the very fabric of Dignan Porch’s sound. The ash tray is full, the can is empty.
