From the title track to the current single ‘Saints And Liars‘, Gary Numan‘s upcoming album ‘Intruder‘ (out May 21) is building intrigue and mystique in equal measure.
Four decades into the synth-pop pioneers hugely influential career, and audiences are still enraptured by his conceptual scope and foreboding sonic attack. It has resulted in a new wave of radio support from Steve Lamacq and Chris Hawkins at 6 Music, plus international coverage ranging from NME and The Quietus to Brooklyn Vegan and Rolling Stone.
Gary Numan now adds to that escalating interest by sharing the new video for ‘Saints And Liars’. When it comes to depicting a planet in its death thralls, location is everything – which makes the setting for the video so inspired. He visits the Amboy Crater, the remains of an extinct volcano located in the Mojave Desert in California, which is estimated to be 79,000 years old and last erupted 10,000 years ago. From the stunning, sweeping aerial shots to the stark, desolate beauty of the cinematography, the video creates a fascinating imagining of a world wounded beyond repair.
Gary commented, “Saints And Liars is the earth drawing attention to our blind faith in religion, in a fictitious God, who in reality does nothing for us, while at the same time abusing and destroying the planet, which does everything for us.”
The ‘Saints And Liars’ video was directed by Chris Corner, better known as IAMX and previously a member of Sneaker Pimps. Extra footage was shot at Sawtooth Studios in Pioneertown, California.
