The electronic Swedish/American Berlin/Milan/Paris-based trio Thieves Like Us are nodding to New Order, of course, but also apparently to actual thieves. As the story goes, the band met at a picnic in East Berlin in 2002 and recorded their second album Again And Again in a basement in Paris in 2009. Between that, they traveled (a lot). Fittingly, this video for "Forget Me Not" has an air of International intrigue ... from 30 or so years before the band met at that picnic in Berlin.
The band explains:
Forget Me Not tells the bleak story of a petty thief who falls for a prostitute. The thief plans one last robbery so that he can start a new life with his love. Sadly the heist goes wrong and it seems love between the lowlifes is destined to fail.
