Slaves are painters and decorators in their new ‘Magnolia’ video
Isaac and Laurie’s adventures just don’t stop.

Slaves have been up to all sorts in their videos for tracks from new record ‘Acts Of Fear And Love’.
First up in the ‘Cut And Run’ clip, Isaac and Laurie held a workout class. Then in their ‘Chokehold’ vid, Isaac quit his job as the band’s drummer to pursue his dream of becoming an international dance sensation, leading Laurie to audition for a new drummer, seeing applications from members of The Maccabees, Royal Blood, Blur and more.
Next up for the ‘Magnolia’ video? Painting and decorating, obviously.
The pair don’t actually get much work done in the video - there’s a lot of larking about and lunch breaks - but we’d probably still hire them.
Slaves are on tour in the UK across November, with a huge London show scheduled in for Alexandra Palace.
