Dave Rowntree has unveiled a video for his single Devil's Island.
The Blur drummer released the track in September as a taster of his upcoming debut solo album, 'Radio Songs', which is due out on January 20 via Cooking Vinyl. The clip, meanwhile, was directed by Guy Gotto.
"I was keen to work with Guy Gotto, who makes gorgeous and interesting video art," Rownstree said. "He visualised the song as a journey through a bleak but beautiful landscape. We decided to film along the narrow gauge railway from Hythe to Dungeness, which runs through some of the most desolate but dazzling landscape in the country. A vista of abandoned boats, lighthouses and drama. The drama reached fever pitch when we were thrown off the estate for not having a permit. A bleak end to a beautiful day."
Rowntree will play his first headline shows in Milton Keynes, Southampton and London this autumn. Tickets are on sale now.

Mon October 31 2022 - MILTON KEYNES Craufurd Arms
