Kasabian star in their own movie trailer in video for latest single ‘Darkest Lullaby’

Heading into festival season in massive fashion, Kasabian have today shared new track ‘Darkest Lullaby’ - the latest to be lifted from their forthcoming album ‘Happenings’ (out on 5th July), following recent cuts ‘Call’, ‘Coming Back To Me Good’, and ‘Algorithms’. 

The retro-tinged, groove-laden single has also arrived accompanied by a video that sees the band star in their own film trailer, paying tribute to the lo-fi, slightly scuzzy aesthetics of ’70s B-movies. Of it, Serge has commented: ‘Darkest Lullaby’ is based on a long-lost film from the 1970s - the music video is the trailer for this fictional film that was never made. It was shot and made by a rag tag bunch of artists having the time of their lives.”

Continuing, the video’s director duo Bedroom (The 1975, Arlo Parks) added: “Imagine stumbling across the abandoned film reels of a long-forgotten movie that never reached completion. Those reels feature a jaded private detective’s descent into the depths of a dangerous assignment swimming with blood thirsty mob goons, psychoactive torture and all the inglorious hazards of the grindhouse/b-movie legacy. This was the concept behind the music video, one that couldn’t be possible without the enthusiasm of the band who threw themselves effortlessly into their roles!”
