Editors have enlisted the help of acclaimed director Ben Wheatley for their latest video, Formaldehyde.
The single lands on September 2 and is taken from their latest full-length, 'The Weight Of Your Love. Wheatley, whose films include Kill List, Sightseers and A Field In England, shot the promo on sets formerly belonging to spaghetti western pioneer Sergio Leone. He said:
"A lot of directors come up through making pop promos, I didn't. My route in was through advertising, internet and television. The pop promo is something I've always been interested in. Music plays a big part in my film work and I've always admired the work of Michel Gondry, Chris Cunningham, David Wilson and Dougal Wilson to name but a few.
"We shot on the old sets for Sergio Leone's Once Upon A Time In The West in Almeria in Spain. It was quite an experience. The sun is so bright and strong. The mountains look amazing and everywhere you look you feel the vibe of the spaghetti westerns, they actually pipe the [Ennio] Morricone music in on loudspeakers so it’s impossible not to feel it."
