Watch Skinny Living's atmospheric music video for Let Me In: Premiere

Wakefield four-piece Skinny Living have been having quite a year. They've been making a name for themselves in a series of varied live performances, from supporting Justin Bieber at his Hyde Park gig in the summer, appearing at Standon Calling, and an intimate set at the Edition Hotel in London.

As they prepare for their UK tour, which kicks off on 1 November at London's Borderline and will take in an eagerly awaited gig in the band's hometown, Skinny Living reveal their new video for latest single Let Me In.

The video, premiered below, is a stirring set piece between a pair of dancers, with one signing the song's lyrics. Frontman Ryan Johnston says of the song: "It's about loving someone that has been hurt in the past, encouraging them to drop their guard, understanding why they feel the way they do because you've been hurt before too. Having the song interpreted in sign language and dance helps emphasise the emotion and meaning of the words, so you can still feel the song, even if you can't hear it."

Let Me In is taken from the band's latest 6, entitled VI, which also features lead track Why, which is now approaching two million streams on Spotify, and has been praised by radio 1, NME and Elton John.
