“We wanted to make a video that focused on a timeless human physicality and physical expression, a search for understanding through the movement, action and reaction of two characters. We chose the classical landscape of the empty beach. A fight ensues between two men: one older, one younger; a tragic outcome, and death.” say Savages on their new video ‘Strife’.
Inspired by a murder scene in the novel The Stranger by Albert Camus Strife is taken from their critically acclaimed debut album Silence Yourself and is directed by Antoine Carlier, French director and co-founder of Pop Noire with Savages’ Jehnny Beth.
