Way Too Much Confidence, Baby!

20 Jan 2006
In December we premiered a rather beautiful video for Original of the Species, directed by Catherine Owens. Now there's a second video for the song and, let's just say, it's pregnant with creativity.

This latest cut is the work of Mark Pellington, someone well known for his visual work for the band - most recently for the eye-popping video accompaniment to The Fly in the indoor show on Vertigo '05.

This cut focusses on a passionate and emotional vocal performance which was actually shot in a small room backstage at Madison Square Garden when the band were playing in New York in the Autumn.
