Alternative rock orchestra MEER reveal new video to celebrate album release.

Today sees the release of MEER’s new  album, “Playing House” on Karisma Records, and the Alternative Rock Orchestra  has celebrated in style, revealing a video for the track “Beehive”.  

The video, which features an animated series of paintings, was filmed, edited and produced by Beth Madeley, and can be seen here:

It is a stunning animation, about which the band had this to say:

The Beehive video is made by the amazing animator and illustrator Beth Madeley. We gave Beth full artistic freedom to make her visual interpretation of the song, and we are awestruck with what she came up with.

A band whose music is mix of orchestral pop, classical music and progressive rock, MEER started life as a duo in Hamar, Norway, in 2008, expanding to become an eight piece whose individual musicians brought with them their own styles, musical interests and influences, to create an interesting eclectic sound.
