As longtime collaborators, John Hillcoat and Nick Cave are never too far apart when it comes their various cinematic and musical projects. On the movie front, the pair go all the way back to Hillcoat's directorial debut "Ghosts…Of The Civil Dead" which Cave co-wrote and starred in, while last year they both brought their talents to "Lawless." Meanwhile, when Cave gets back in the studio, Hillcoat is usually around to help get a distinctive music video out in the world.
Following Gaspar Noe's enigmatic video for "We No Who U R," Hillcoat is back behind the camera for "Jubilee Street." And this one you might want to watch with the office door closed. Ray Winstone features as an emotionally conflicted man who seems to enjoy the company of prostitutes, while Nick Cave walks his badass self down some streets at night. And that's about it. It's simple stuff and pretty much fits the mood one expects from Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds, so mission accomplished.
Give it a watch below. The new album Push The Sky Away lands on February 19th. [Pitchfork]
