Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats premiered the video for their single “Survivor.” The video was directed by Brantley Gutierrez and features professional boxer Prince Charles Martin who was an IBF Heavyweight Champion of The World and has 25 KOs in 31 fights.
“I’ve been friends with Brantley for years and we have been talking about making a video like ‘Survivor’ for 14 of those years,” noted Rateliff in a press release. “I’ve always loved his work be it video or photography. He has an amazing eye and the ability to make you feel comfortable in front of any lens.”
Of the video, Gutierrez said, “As soon as Nathaniel sent me the track, the boxing imagery sprang to mind. But I wanted to try and take a different approach to a classic story. I tried to imagine what Raging Bull or Rocky might have looked like if Wes Anderson had dreamed them up. I’ve known the band for such a long time and they are such funny guys with real comedic timing. So, I tried to create fun little parts for them to play.”
The song is the first track to be revealed from the band’s third studio album, The Future, which is set to release on Nov. 5.
