After recently announcing their new album friends Friends (out October 7th), White Lies today share a video for the first new single, Take It Out On Me for which they collaborated with award winning Mexican film director David Pablos.
The collaboration came about when White lies saw The Chosen Ones on Netflix and tracked the director down via Facebook who comments on the video:
The music video for Take It Out On Me is a reinterpretation of traditional stories of saints, in modern day Tijuana, mixed with elements from the film “Theorem” by Pier Paolo Pasolini. A little bit of dark humor and that’s the final result!

Take It Out On Me started as an experiment in which Cave aimed to write a chorus using just numbers.
It was inspired by a lunatic on Instagram who kept commenting on a friend’s photos in pseudo Biblical verse… As a challenge, I turned them in to a song. The only problem was that it went so well everyone said it should be the first single, so I relented and gave the chorus real lyrics.
Friends will be released on CD, vinyl, picture disc, digital download and streaming formats, as well as a special box set edition which will include a cassette and four exclusive bonus tracks.
