Copenhagen coldwave trio Lust for Youth have must have given Trainspotting a re-watch lately because their latest album International is all about CHOOSE LIFE. (And also maybe a little bit about Pet Shop Boys, New Order, and early-90s raves.) Which is appropriate, because the new video for their track “Running” basically chronicles the lads living it up in Tokyo where neon lights and opportunities for bowling and karaoke are plentiful allllllll niiiiiight looooooong. Sadly, no glowsticks were broken in the making of this video.
Fun fact: Dirty Beaches and fellow Sacred Bones labelmate Pharmakon make cameos in the video, which was directed by members Hannes Norrvide, Loke Rahbek, and Malthe Fischer. One of the thematic elements in International and the “Running” video is traveling, so it’s only appropriate that Lust for Youth have announced a whole slew of fall European tour dates, listed below.
