Our new clip (a message from Pete Hume)

Greetings all!
This is being written on the first day off after our first week on tour. Incidentally thanks to everyone who was a part of the shows so far, you lent your voices & your ears. It's amazing to finally play this album that's been bouncing round our heads for the last couple of years. It's also fun competing with a 15ft wall of of screens for your attention!

In other news we just finished up the video for "Can you Hear Me?", our new single. It's the last track on the album, the emotional high-point, and is one of our favorite tracks. Live, it takes on a life of its own and you just jump on for the ride.
We filmed in Johannesburg, South Africa which seems like a strange place to film.... and it is! We'd met the director Tristin Holmes a couple of years ago. We always had him in the back of our minds because he made powerful, emotional work and had an impressive vocabulary (he used the word 'maelstrom' in general conversation!). We wanted to do something different to anything we've done before so we took a long-shot.
We had no idea what we were in for. In a 4 day shoot, on which I don't think Jon ever got out of soaking wet clothes, we were pummeled with fire-hoses & climbed through rotting drain-pipes. Despite this I think it was definitely worth it.

I hope you enjoy it
Pete
