Darkstar - A Day's Pay For A Day's Work
If we had our way, Darkstar would be one of the 12 contenders for the best British album at tonight's Mercury Prize announcement. Ahead of headlining our Dummy AGM on Saturday 28th September, the Warp trio have released a touching new video for A Day's Pay For A Day's Work from their exquisite second album 'News From Nowhere' [Warp, February 2013]. It's got a bit of a Mike Leigh vibe to it – finding the three bandmates taking part in trust building exercises in a rundown community centre – and that detached sense of longing provides a powerful counterpoint to the song's lullaby melody.
Darkstar will headline our Dummy AGM at London Fields Brewery on Saturday 28th September. Tickets and full info here.
