Shot in conjunction with Brighton-based independent film company Novi Films, the clip seemingly uses an idea Rossiter first concocted 15 years ago. Walking into a freezer, the songwriter subjected himself to extreme cold before completing the shoot in one take.
Martin Rossiter:
I challenge you to name a better collection of songs released by anyone in the last two years. That was the aim, I knew I needed to come back with something brilliant. I’ve been writing music for 30 years and if I am not making a record that I consider to be my favourite record in the world then I’m failing in my craft. I should be able to write a record that personally I love more than any other. I can’t think of another I like as much, I don’t think that’s an arrogant thing, I think it’s me finally being pretty good at what I want to achieve. It drives me insane, I want to break peoples noses when I hear people say they don’t listen to their own songs. Why would you make it then? I remember Ian Brown saying he was the best singer in the world to much derision, and I totally support him in that, I think you need that.
I first heard songs from this album 18 months ago at the Bloomsbury Theatre. The debut album is out next week. Can't wait.
8 years on from the unforgettable farewell show from Gene and a year on from their frontman's debut solo performances, there's news of a new album from Martin Rossiter due in November.
With a spectacular title - 'The Defenestration Of St Martin' - a PledgeMusic project launched this week, reaching 100% of the target on the first day.
Such a beautifully shot and heartwarmingly inspirational video to introduce the project.
