Video: Pet Shop Boys, ‘Vocal’ — featuring footage from ’80s raves, Hacienda club

Pet Shop Boys 'Vocal' video

The Pet Shop Boys today debuted the video for Electric single “Vocal,” and it’s a bit of a time warp: The Joost Vandeburg-directed clip which you can see below is comprised of “authentic amateur film footage shot at various raves in the late ’80s” as well as images from the renowned New Order-owned Hacienda club in Manchester.

The band notes:

The video (and the song) was inspired by the way British youth at this time found its own freedom with a new culture epitomised by dance music and raves: “It’s in the music/It’s in the song/And the feeling of the warmth around us all is so strong.”

The single is now available on iTunes, and the full album will be released July 15.

  1. Wow some great footage there…reminds me of the old days!

    Song is pretty catchy too!

  2. Could hear it segueing beautifully into “It’s Alright” live. Plus a heavier remix would be great.

    Can’t wait for the Oakland show!

    • AndyP: Funny your comment from 9 months ago turned out to be exactly how they did the track live :)
