[WATCH] The Institutes – “Inside Out”

UK indie-rock band, The Institutes, have unleashed a new, revamped version of fan favorite track, “Inside Out,” today, and it’s a keeper!

Taken from the band’s debut album, Colosseums, “Inside Out” is now reworked with a stunning new mix and strings arrangement, and the track’s accompanying video only drives the song home even further starring acclaimed Scottish actor, Steven Cree.

“‘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” will be the last release of the Colosseums era as the band has begun work on their sophomore release, due out later this year. However, new colored vinyl pressings are available for pre-order now here!
