White Lies release video for 'Morning In LA'
It's the second track to be lifted from October's 'Friends'
‘80s reboots, eh? You can’t move for the things. Last year saw National Lampoon’s Vacation series and Poltergeist return to cinemas, while 2016 has seen a remake of Ghostbusters - which no-one seemed to have a problem with - and talk of more to follow in the shape of WarGames, Commando and amphibious romcom Splash.
A month or so on from the release of fourth album Friends, moody west London post-punkers White Lies have dipped into the playbook of moody north-west London post-punkers Killing Joke for their new video, ‘Morning In LA’. Those billowing flags are lifted straight from the Joke’s clip for the classic ‘Love Like Blood’, a fact which the band are only too happy to admit.
“We had been wanting to do a performance style video for a while and the Killing Joke video from which ours respectfully steals is an absolute classic of the genre”, says bassist Charles Cave. “When White Lies started, we received a fair amount of 'gothic' adjectives describing our music - something we always found quite funny. For 'Morning in LA', arguably our jolliest song yet, we thought the tongue-in-cheek gothic feel of the video was an appropriate aesthetic to go with.”
