(PR) British Sea Power debut the new video for "No Lucifer" on Myspace. The song comes from "Do You Like Rock Music" - BSP's 3rd full-length which arrives in US/Canada on Feb. 12th.The song "No Lucifer" refers to the main theme of the whole album, the continual epic battle between Good & Evil (where in the album title, "rock music" symbolizes all that is good). This spirit is perhaps best demonstrated in the line, "Is that what the future holds? Malevolence or good?" The chant of "Easy, easy" commonly heard at British pro wrestling matches and football stadiums, is re-appropriated for an audience cheering & jeering the 1-on-1 match between Good & Evil.
In the video, the actors portray a number of despots (I won't name them here, but look closely at their outfits) from the past and the present, symbolizing the constant effort of Evil, with their propaganda, pomp & grandeur, to lure the Good. People, puppets at the mercy of the movements of a hidden hand, are faced with a choice – Yes or No? As British Sea Power proudly proclaim, "Several Lucifers come, and we can beat them all".
This video was created entirely by "Hamilton", one of the band members, and features the four band members and some friends along with Hamilton's extensive collection of string puppets & marionettes, from places like Indonesia and Russia.
