U2 have posted a stop-motion video for Get Out Of Your Own Way.
It’s taken from the recent Songs Of Experience album and has a theme which you’d expect from the band; “The video addresses the current political situation: 2017 for us was the year fascists worldwide felt confident enough to raise their heads again, encouraged by Trump and other world leaders, who use people’s fear to build more walls and segregation,” directors Broken Fingaz Crew explain.
“The song is both a personal letter and a clarion cry to the global situation, and in the same way, we’ve combined our psychedelic pop style with political imagery; shot entirely analogue, using paper cut and stop motion animation techniques in collaboration with Adam Albo, who edited the video.”
Meanwhile, U2’s eXPERIENCE + iNNOCENCE tour will visit the UK in October for dates at the Manchester Arena and O2 Arena in London.
