MATT MALTESE VACANT IN THE 21ST CENTURY

The increasingly impressive Matt Maltese has delivered a brilliantly pertinent new video for his powerful current single 'Vacant In The 21st Century'. The Hugo White (The Maccabees) produced cut is bolstered further by dark, thought-provoking visuals flickering through a number of intriguing characters "lamenting the modern age". Maltese explains further, "We aimed to depict some byproducts of modern day society - the disillusioned youth getting drunk as the world melts away, the self-obsessed twins jerking off to their phones, the dysfunctional couple whose everyday tasks drive them to the insanity and beyond. All together inside one divided, decomposing, politically correct country." There's nothing vacant about this exceptional new London talent. -G.O'B
