It was filmed in Marfa, Texas, a very special place to us, where we wrote and recorded some of our new album.” “We have a lot of love and respect for the people of the USA, having played hundreds of shows across the country over the past years. We hope this video reflects just some of the warmth and acceptance we have encountered there.” The video also features appearances from London skater and Dazed 100 star Blondey McCoy, as well as US model Ali Michael.
