‘Anarchistwood seem to be the most bat-shit-crazy band left …’ said Ged Babey when LTW premiered their Bomb In a Luggage Rack video. Now the Anarcho-libertarian-art-hippy-fun Punks with an endless supply of grease-paint are back, with a bizarre epic video, with echoes of Kubrick, Jarman, Ken Russell, Lindsay Anderson and The Prisoner… set in their own nightmarish, psychedelic parallel world. So much more than a ‘music video’, this is a hyperrealist, surrealist, subversive work of mischievous art. Over to Mark Ray.
