Slaves go for a bike ride in their new ‘Take Control’ video
Laurie and Isaac whizz around the park on a yellow tandem. Lovely stuff!
At odds with the rough, abrasive snarl of their new song ‘Take Control,’ Slaves have thrown a bit of a curveball for the video. It shows the duo.. um, going for a lovely wholesome bike ride around the park, on a lovely yellow tandem.
‘Take Control’ is the title track from Laurie Vincent and Isaac Holman’s second album, which is produced by Beastie Boys’ Mike D. It comes out later this month, on September 30th.
