The Cribs unveil remotely made one-off ‘Be Safe’ video
The track features on their 2007 album ‘Men’s Needs, Women’s Needs, Whatever.’
Originally released back in 2007, today The Cribs are sharing a one-off remotely made video for ‘Be Safe’, featuring Sonic Youth’s Lee Ranaldo providing a stirring spoken word vocal.
First appearing on their third album ‘Men’s Needs, Women’s Needs, Whatever.’, the group explain, “Got the old band back together (despite being separated by thousands of miles!) for a fashionably late isolation video, our first ‘live’ performance in almost 2 years! Feel like the title of the song is quite pertinent at the minute, and hope you’re all looking out for each other. Love, The Cribs.”
