UK Legendary post-punk band Public Image Ltd have premiered their new single “Car Chase” and its accompanying video.
The track is the second taste of their upcoming 11th studio album ‘End of World‘, due to be released on August 11 on PiL Official via Cargo UK Distribution. Pre-order your copy here.
The video, directed and Filmed by John Rambo Stevens, gives an insight into the recording of the new album, and features handwritten lyrics by John Lydon.
Commenting on the track, John said, “Typical PiL, unpredictable to the last. It’s a fantastic smash and grab of a song, is about someone who cleverly breaks out of the mental institution every night, unbeknownst to his owners. Is based on having to go to shopping malls at night for cigarettes and wine, and seeing the vast carpark space and lighting surrounded by a little village and a lot of dark trees and country lanes. It’s a really creepy scenario, what if somebody creeps out of there, like a mad lunatic?”
