According to Daniel Lanois, No Line On The Horizon standout "Magnificient" was "born in Fez," Morocco and features Moroccan percussionists. And when you have the budget to say things like "our song was born in Fez," you have the budget to film your video in Fez. Director Alex Courtes, the visionary behind the perfect (shit)storm that was "Get On Your Boots," plays it relatively tastefully here, filming the band in a Moroccan courtyard while sheets float all over the city American Beauty style. Please note the band is standing on Moroccan rugs, because in case you were wondering they filmed in Morocco.
That came via Yahoo!, who should run for President of categorizing videos. U2's No Line On The Horizon is out. "Magnificent" has a will.i.am remix due soon, so get psyched.
