Everything But The Girl have released their brand-new single 'Run A Red Light'. It's the third upfront track to be taken from their new album 'Fuse', due out next month, and arrives with an accompanying video, directed by Charlie Di Placido, who made the recent 'Nothing Left To Lose' video (watched over 1 million times on YouTube). There is also a new photo (above) by Edward Bishop.

"I met a lot of characters during my years in clubland," says Ben of 'Run A Red Light', "and I wrote this song about the guy at the end of the night, who dreams his big moment is just around the corner. All the bravado and good intentions masking the vulnerability".



"The video is like a dream of the story," says Tracey. "We've found with this record that choreography can express the emotion in our music without having to be too literal. The characters, the clothes, the movement, the direction all just fit. Charlie and his team really get the feelings we're going for".

Of the music, Ben says,"I used mixed technology in the production to lend character. The piano is a looped iPhone recording; the synth that follows the vocal is a live take on an analog EMS VCS3 which were first made in 1969. Tracey chose to sing super-close to the mic to add intimacy. Some vocals are untreated, some auto-tuned. And then at the end we let the music appear to evaporate. It all just seemed to suit the story".
