Nothing But Thieves<\/a> have shared the music video for their new single \u2018Real Love Song<\/a>\u2019, taken from their forthcoming album Moral Panic<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interspersing mesmerising animation with performance footage from the band, the Basak Erol-directed video tells the story of three characters seeking love in the wrong places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs an audience, we are often presented something that is excessive or overblown, especially when it comes to love stories,\u201d the band said. \u201cWe wanted the video to capture the irony of the song whilst making sure it was still affecting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a song within a song and the video, with its nods to the modern relationship and its sensationalised band moments, tell two sides of the same story. Where does the cynicism end and the real begin?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was amazing to work with Basak and her team who totally got where we were going and created a story that works on these different levels. This is a love song, so what?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Real Love Song\u2019 and recent single \u2018Is Everybody Going Crazy?\u2019<\/em><\/strong> are the first songs to be taken from Nothing But Thieves\u2019 upcoming album Moral Panic<\/em>, which will be released on 23rd<\/sup> October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The album will follow their 2018 EP What Did You Think When You Made Me This Way?<\/em> and their 2017 album\u00a0Broken Machine<\/a><\/em>, which reached at No.2 in the UK albums chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The past few years have been quite a ride for Nothing But Thieves, seeing them amass over 700,000 album sales and 750 million streams as well as selling out their worldwide Broken Machineheadline tour. The band have also performed on US TV shows including \u2018The Late Late Show with James Corden\u2019 and \u2018Jimmy Kimmel Live\u2019, after their self-titled album became the bestselling debut from a British rock band in the US in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
