The Kills have released a trailer for the Samantha Morton directed video for ‘The Last Goodbye‘, which marks the duo’s ten years together as a band, and can be viewed below.
The Hollywood star shot the promo in a photo-booth for a song which The Kills’ Jamie Hince has said was consciously made to be a departure from their traditional sound.
“I wanted to make it completely different from anything we’d normally do,” Hince said according to Nowness. “I used an octagon keyboard from the 60s which takes flexi-discs with real bands playing and mixes them together.” “Life goes on,” singer Alison Mosshart added. “It starts off being the end of the world but then ends up alright.”
Meanwhile, looking back to their first show in 2002, Mosshart described the small-scale gig as the ‘scariest moment of our lives’. “I’ll never forget our first gig – February 14 2002 in front of 70 people,” she said. “It was the scariest moment of our lives. We couldn’t believe we were doing it.”
“The first time I saw her perform was like watching Patti Smith for the first time,” Hince added. “This awkward little sparrow on stage just had so much confidence and was obviously so comfortable performing. It was fascinating. I thought if I was going to be in another band it was going to be with her. She’s my best friend and has been in every aspect of my life.”
