New Guillemots Video - "Get Over It"

The great Guillemots already hit us with a free MP3 of " Kriss Kross" earlier this month, and the gear-up for their forthcoming second-effort Red continues here with a great clip for "Get Over It." This is the second time we've heard the tune -- the first coming during their recent performance on Johnathan Ross -- and in the studio it's a little less rough-edged rock, but every bit as ecstatic. We start in black and white but quickly explode into lots of, yes, Reds in a dazzling, color-filled, Wonka-esque cab ride for Fyfe Dangerfield. He's trying to pry himself from the Other Woman in a little love triangle, yelling at her to move on ("I'm tied up to my baby ... get over it"), surrendering to his his emotions for just a moment when the band simmers down for a beat ("Well in another life I'd be drenched in sweat with you / But it's this life, and in this life we make do ... GET OVER IT"). His cabbie (bassist Aristazabal Hawkes) tries smacking some sense into him, which we hope comes free of charge.

There's a lesson in there for you philanderers: Get yourself out of your mess or risk morphing permanently into a debauched, paunched Vegas-y looking guy. Looks like Fyfe gets out alive. Anyway, psyched for the album.

Red is out in the UK 3/24 on Polydor.

Well, if nobody else will say anything, here goes:
I love Guillemots and can't wait to hear 'red'.
Although their video podcast is rubbish.
