Pet Shop Boys – Vocal

Towleroad tips us to the Pet Shop Boys’ description of their clip in support of the first single from their coming album, Electric. (I posted the audio to the track a few weeks ago.)



This short film has been produced and directed by the filmmaker and photographer, Joost Vandeburg. He has created it using authentic amateur film footage shot at various raves in the late 80s, along with some footage from the Haçienda in Manchester. The video (and the song) was inspired by the way British youth at this time found its own freedom with a new culture epitomised by dance music and raves: “It’s in the music/It’s in the song/And the feeling of the warmth around us all is so strong.”
