Gang of Four ft Alison Mosshart 'England's In My Bones' by Olivier Groulx
David Knight - 12th Feb 2015
In keeping with the reputation of this hugely influential band, Olivier Groulx has fashioned an entirely uncompromising yet compelling visual style to accompany the first release from Gang of Four's new album What Happens Next.
The video for England's In My Bones, featuring the magnetic presence of The Kills' Alison Mosshart, is the anthithesis of state of the art digital crispness. It draws the viewer in with the murk and blur of the photography (excellent work by DoP Tim Sidell), and creative edit (likewise, from Vid Price) to combine a ferocious band performance with snapshots of life (and death) in a English country house.
It's also totally in keeping with Olivier Groulx's own work. From his videos for Arcade Fire to his recent double video for Alt-J, it's characterised by beautifully-crafted imagery. And this is just the first offering in an ongoing relationship with the post punk legends, who have worked with a fascinating range of vocalists on the new album. Olivier's video for their collaboration with German icon Herbert Gronmeyer is on its way..
