Le Galaxie’s second album Le Club gets a regular rotation on my record player (in its sweet white vinyl form).
We’ve been living with ‘Love System’ for a few years of course, both in recorded and live form, but the song got a new saxophone-featuring version on the new album, and as a result, there’s now a new video for the track to go alongside Mark Duggan’s Point Break-style video.
The new video, as premiered with Billboard was directed by the VMA-nominated directors Feel Good Lost and takes a story of a couple in love (the girl lost in herself, the guy aggressively lost in her) you often see set in the US and moves it to Ireland so it features a Maxol garage featuring Dave from the band working behind the counter, Mega Meanies, an arcade, Anthony from the band getting a headbutt and a crap shipping container diner called “Deke’s Diner”.
Check out the video above and the Young Wonder remix of the track below:

UMG appear to have blocked access to their own video, or I’m missing something. Can’t watch it in any case….
