[Video Premier] John Grant: ‘I Wanna Go to Marz’

By on May 20, 2010 in Video

Former Czar John Grant premiers the video for ‘I Wanna Go To Marz’ here at The Line Of Best Fit; an amazing tale of life after death, ghost parties, liquorice babies and a descent into madness – directed by Casey Raymond and Ewan Jones Morris.

John’s almost absurd snippets of life are glued together into a poem of longing tempered with darkness.  Having Midlake as his band only further adds to the emotional connection; as it is their heart that pumps life into this vessel.  Taken from the astonishing and TLOBF recommended album Queen Of Denmark, it resonates with the elation from their inspired pairing.  The images play alongside the music with themes of despair and loss juxtaposed with reunion and joy. This magical combination of sound and vision is something you won’t want to miss.

    couldnt disagree more. i think the video is stunning, very sad but also pretty twisted and fucked up, kinda exactly like the album. i love these guys' videos.
    i for one hope they do the next single too!
