But today the video for Hercules & Love Affair’s new single I Try To Talk To You directed by David Wilson and produced by international online retailer SSENSE and System Magazine has me all in a spin.

The missus and I have played some interesting gigs. For some interesting people. In bumper car booths, museums, village halls and behind a Vintage sofa. And let’s be honest, you play those gigs for a reason other than banging out the basslines and seducing the dancefloor. You are doing the decent thing for decent people and a decent cause.
