Roisin Murphy, inspired by Monty Python, has directed the video for Fat White Family‘s new track Tastes Good With The Money.
“I’ve been making it known for years how much I wanted to make a video for this band,” Murphy says. “I’m a massive fan of FWF and I’ve been chasing this opportunity for a long time. I used every possible connection I had, I have asked people to ask people, I’ve contacted the band on social media, I really set my heart on this. For me there’s such a charm about them and an authenticity that’s actually incredibly rare. I knew I could not possibly work with a more magnetic bunch of performers.”
“When I look at the video, what I see is the trust they put in me and I’m so proud of that. Maybe it’s because I am a performer too but they let themselves be put in a kind-of vulnerable situation.”
“They allowed themselves to be foolish, silly and absurd in a way that could have gone tits-up, however, the result is hilarious and the performances are second to none.”
Tastes Good With The Money is taken from the forthcoming album Serfs Up!, which Fat White Family will release on April 19th.
