The Struts have released a video for their latest single Tatler Magazine. The video precedes the band’s UK/European tour which kicks off later this week.
“I remember coming home from the pub I was staying at with my parents for a few days,” explains vocalist Luke Spiller. “I stumbled into the lounge where my mum was watching a documentary on Tatler Magazine. After watching a few episodes, I was immediately inspired and went to my piano where I started to bash out the bare bones of the song’s chorus and feel. After a few hours, I decided to put it to one side thinking it was too ‘musical theatre’ for the band.
“However, after a sudden creative drought in Los Angeles where we were writing, I decided to suggest working on something fun, free and without any real musical boundaries. I told Jed about the idea and he showed real enthusiasm towards the song. Quickly we got to work and finished it in about 45 minutes. Lyrically this song has some absolute gems but dare I say, ‘I’ll fly privately bon voyage economy’, is one of my best to date!”
