This morning, Placebo unveiled the video for their brand new single "Jesus' Son," a track taken from the band's must-have retrospective hits album A Place For Us To Dream, slated for release on October 7th through Rise Records in the U.S. Watch the video now via VEVO and YouTube.
Directed by Joe Connor (Paul Weller, The Maccabees), "Jesus' Son" was filmed on location in Sardinia and combines shots of the band performing with traditional Sardinian Pagan carnival figures wearing bovine masks and sheepskin clothing. The surreal imagery taps into the song's spiritual undertones. "Jesus' Son" marks a milestone of the band's 20-year career since the 1996 release of their self-titled debut album. The single is included on their retrospective album release A Place For Us To Dream, alongside early singles such as "Bruise Pristine," "Come Home," "Teenage Angst," to the career-defining hits like "Nancy Boy," "Every You Every Me," "Pure Morning," "The Bitter End," and "Meds." On October 7th Placebo will also release a new EP titled Life's What You Make It which features 6 previous unreleased recordings, including "Jesus' Son" as well as a cover of the Talk Talk classic "Life's What You Make It." All the tracks are produced by Adam Noble (Muse, dEUS, Red Hot Chilli Peppers), who was at the helm for the band's acclaimed 7th studio album Loud Like Love.Videos
