Here's what Lord Echo has to say about his new vid:
"I wrote this song with Toby Laing who's best known as Trumpet player and producer with Fat Freddies Drop, but who is not as well known as a highly distinctive lyricist and singer.
"The song was inspired by some gritty urban street scene he witnessed, I believe in Melbourne, peopled by various villainous characters and hustlers at that golden hour of the early evening.
"There's always a few lines in any of his songs that couldn't come from anyone else: "Villain's know - they always see. The place is slowly steeped in infamy. When dusk espies, cigarette. Yellow light and narrow silhouette."
"Anyway, director Frances Hazard took all this and worked with her partner Louis Olsen and came up with this shimmering, drugged out cityscape that is peopled by increasingly bizarre insect-like creatures, until by end the whole thing devolves into a kind of molecular dance of primitive forms."
