MERE days away from the release of their long-awaited debut album, Catholic Action have nourished the buzz around its impending unveiling with a new video for the luxurious indie-pop ballad that is  ‘Black And White.’

The second offering to have emerged from In Memory Of, it is a composition that is born of an acute melancholy but still contains all of the entrancing elements that we’ve came to adore from their uniquely lavish sound. Straddling both the romantic and morose in equal measure, Chris McCrory has spoken of the origins of the track and stated:  “I wrote this immediately after waking up on the floor of a cold London studio. I’d recently found out Bowie had died and for what it’s worth – I think this song was my gut reaction.”

The latest in their series of charmingly DIY videos that have became something of a trademark for the group, the accompanying visuals are almost dichotomous to the track’s title as we are thrown into a vividly colourful and almost surreal world of their own devising.

In Memory Of will be released this Friday and marked with an in-store show at Edinburgh’s Assai Records whilst our 8.5/10 review of the record can be found right here.
