I’m only labeling this new Garbage video as a red hot video instead of a song of the day because “No Horses” already was a song of the day when they debuted the audio a week or so ago. Anyway, this is the apocalypse as seen by Garbage and director Scott Stuckey and, well, everything that happens in it happens every day, or just about, in the world we live in today. Guess the end is neigh or something.
Here’s Stuckey on the video: “It’s been my observation that when governments disregard their citizens for their own greed, the ensuing soundtrack usually kick’s ass. Like Nina Simone’s ‘Mississippi Goddam’ or the Clash’s ‘Straight To Hell’, ‘No Horses’ made me realize that I’m not going insane, these really are fucked up times. The lyrics are powerful so the challenge was to add something visually that wouldn’t ruin the individual’s interpretation.”
