video for for you by electronic.

the promo edit of for you was used for this enjoyable video, in which the band plays in a caravan while someone who looks rather like ewan bremner in trainspotting (which had been released six months earlier) drives around in a jeep. sumner, marr and jimi goodwin grin and enjoy themselves as spud and a girl in a white dress cavort and paint the caravan, before it’s completely destroyed by a sherman tank in the middle of a field. it’s a video as fun and capricious as the song it promotes. richard heslop has also directed videos for new order (fine time, spooky) and happy mondays (hallelujah), amongst others. watch an official upload on youtube.
