The video for Mark Stewart and Primal Scream's recent collaboration 'Autonomia' has emerged online.
Pop and politics go together like oil and water. So Mark Stewart simply set fire to the oil.
Returning with a new collaboration heavy album, Mark Stewart has refused to go gently into the night. 'The Politics Of Envy' is a furious, subversive take on modern culture, political apathy, mass media and more.
Set to drop on March 26th, Mark Stewart is offering fans a short preview. Recently sitting down with Bobby Gillespie, the twin frontmen hit it off and decided to record a full track together.
Hitting the studio with Primal Scream, 'Autonomia' takes no prisoners. Telling the story of Carlo Giuliani, an autonomist protestor killed in the 2001 G8 demonstrations in Genoa, the track is a furious call and response chant.
A quote from Mark Stewart: "... afterwards I started getting on with Bobby, who was interested in politics and I asked Adrian (Sherwood) about doing it. It'?s important that people hear about the story, it?s the message and the atmosphere as much as anything.?"
Douglas Hart - Gillespie's former Mary Chain cohort - has taken charge of shooting a video for the track. Mirroring the cut's raw, vital feel you can watch the video below...
