London Post-Punk Quartet Mouth Ulcers Explore the Cost of Leaving the Past Behind in Video for “Space”

London post-punk quartet Mouth Ulcers has released a video for ‘Space’, directed by the band with vocalist-guitarist Zak Watson handling cinematography and editing. The track appears on their debut EP Silent Pictures, arriving July 10 via LAB Records. The video employs superimposition and spectral imagery to explore themes of memory and loss, with doubled bodies and shifting silhouettes creating a dreamlike aesthetic. Musically, ‘Space’ blends post-punk severity with shoegaze textures, anchored by Jamie-Lee Culver’s melodic bassline and complemented by Josephine Rose’s glacial vocals reminiscent of PJ Harvey and Boy Harsher. The band acknowledges influences from Joy Division, The Cure, and Bauhaus while forging their own aesthetic. Lyrically, ‘Space’ examines nostalgia as both physical presence and permanent loss—a central theme throughout the EP. Formed in 2025, Mouth Ulcers are scheduling tour dates from July through January across UK and European cities including Leeds, Amsterdam, and Manchester.
