For a while the hints have been there on Instagram, but we can now rejoice – new music from Underworld.
I would have loved to see Underworld in Reykjavik; Iceland is on my ‘places to visit’ list, and to see Karl and Rick there would have been quite something.
I love this track, restrained yet with an unrequited tension that runs through it. The visuals are brilliant, the simple mirroring of the amazing Icelandic scenery is incredibly effective.
My son shared this video with me over the weekend, and it really made me chuckle. I guess we don’t need to worry about AI taking over quite yet…
Wonderfully analogue – surprisingly moving.

I thought the art of the music video was a dying a slow death as whenever I skip through the music channels I see formulaic videos of scantily clad women, blinged up artistes and borrowed Bentleys. But this lunchtime I’ve stumbled across two fantastic videos which suggest the stories of video’s demise have been greatly exaggerated.
The first is Voodoo Blood from Massive Attack which features an incredible performance from Rosamund Pike. This video is up there with UNKLE’s Rabbit In Your Headlights for disturbing subterranean visuals.
Next is Wide Open from The Chemical Brothers with Beck on vocals; one of the most engaging and clever pieces of work I’ve seen in a while – look out for the Chemical’s very subtle cameo.
There is a fascinating making of video that shows how the effects were achieved and the amount of work that went into making this piece of art.
I find it interesting that both videos are from established artists who’ve been around since the heydays of the music video. It’s good to see there is still the desire to make something creative and compelling.
I heard this track on the radio this morning, and was reminded of the great video featuring the wonderful Bob Hoskins.
