Will Butler Shares "What I Want" Video Featuring "House" Star Jennifer Morrison, Perry Farrell
Will Butler has shared a video for his Policy single “What I Want”, which features Jennifer Morrison of the TV series “House“. Directed by Brantley Gutierrez, the video has Butler and Morrison entering a punk club frequented by a bunch of unruly kids, whom they turn into “boring parents” (as described in the video credits) by way of a special ray gun. Perry Farrell makes a cameo as one of those boring parents, too. Watch it below via Nerdist, who also did a behind-the-scenes featurette on the making of the video.
Butler shared a statement about the making of the video:
Filming this video felt like a rock and roll laser tag birthday party. The kids were amazing-upbeat and hilarious the whole shoot. Such civilized anarchists. And-to mix metaphors, I guess-Jennifer Morrison was a real Albus Dumbledore, wise and unflappable and insanely talented. She truly classed up the rest of us muggles.
In other news, Arcade Fire are currently without a label following the release of 2013′s Reflektor. On top of that, the rights to Funeral and Neon Bible have reverted back to them. According to their manager, Scott Rodger, they might not try to sign a new deal for their upcoming record. He talked about their situation in an interview with Music Business Worldwide, as Arcade Fire Tube points out:
They’re a huge touring act who sell around 1.6m – 2m albums each time. We’re out of our deal, they have no deal, plus most of their catalogue has reverted back to them. So they’ve got all the rights to their first mini-album, all the rights to Funeral and Neon Bible. The Suburbs comes back in the summer of 2017 and the next year we get back Reflektor.
We can do a futures deal; we can go to any label and sign the whole catalogue plus futures now. The question is, why would we? I sat with the band the other week: they’re not bread-heads, they don’t care about [a big payday]. They have a couple of studios, so they don’t need studio time to make their next record. They’ll fund it themselves, which they’ve done for every album anyway. They just want to do what’s smart. We can do physical with a boutique company and do some really nice vinyl. We can partner with a tech company. We can sign up to a digital aggregator. There are a lot of options.
