The Libertines have shared a music video for “Run Run Run,” the first single from their forthcoming fourth studio album, All Quiet on the Eastern Esplanade. The project is set to be released through Casablanca/Republic Records on March 8, marking the garage-rock revivalists’ second album in two decades.
Co-frontman of the band, Carl Barât, shared of the track that “it’s about being trapped, and trying to escape your dismal life, a bit like the man in Bukowski’s Post Office. The worst thing for The Libertines would be to get stuck in a ‘Run-run-run’ rut, constantly trying to relive our past.”
According to a press release, the music video follows a day in the life of “a seedy Flash Harry cab driver, who drives his various customers round the fleshpots and watering holes of Margate in his retro Bentley Turbo motor.” Check out the visual below, and pre-order All Quiet on the Eastern Esplanade here.
