NAUT, a Bristol-based goth rock band, released a music video for their single ‘Liberation,’ which critiques modern systems of control and surveillance while celebrating the goth club as a refuge for outsiders. The track combines death-rock heaviness with coldwave austerity, featuring descending guitars, glacial synthesizers, and a drum machine that evokes bureaucratic menace. Lyrically, the song confronts workplace metrics, digital monitoring, and systemic compliance, positioning the night and dancefloor as spaces of bodily and spiritual liberation. The DIY video, shot in Bristol, emphasizes atmosphere and movement over narrative, presenting bodies and performers caught in artificial light and darkness. Following their previous release Hunt and tours supporting acts like Creeper, The March Violets, and She Past Away, NAUT demonstrates a refined, more physically oriented approach to gothic post-punk.
