Dirty director Daniel Brereton takes us on a nostalgic and surreal road trip across the dusty Dallas landscape for Bastille’s latest music video ‘Glory’.

The video is about storytelling, and how the telling of them can influence how we remember them. Shot by Adam Kimmel (‘Never Let Me Go’, ‘Capote’, ‘Lars and the Real Girl’), the film follows the fractured memories of two carefree friends (starring Dan Smith from the band) as they recount their version of events on an epic, no-holds barred road trip across America, prompting the viewer to ask questions about what it is they think they remember seeing in the video.

 

Dirty's Daniel Brereton:

“The video is about misremembering things in the past, how people can see things completely differently, and how nostalgia can help shape the truth. Dan from the band wanted it to feel like those middle of the night conversations you have with friends.It has a bit of ambiguity to it, as l like to leave room for interpretation - some one pointed me to the wild conspiracy theories some of the Bastille fans have already written about the video...which is itself what the video is about.
