Rob Marshall’s Humanist have released a video for their new single titled Shock Collar featuring Depeche Mode frontman Dave Gahan.
The song will feature on the band’s upcoming self-titled album which will launch on February 21 through Ignition Records.
Along with Gahan, the record will feature an all-star cast including Mark Lanegan, Mark Gardener, Carl Hancock Rux, John Robb, Joel Cadbury, Ilse Maria, Ron Sexsmith and Jim Jones.
Gahan says: “It was a pleasure to be asked to be a part of Rob’s Humanist project. Mark Lanegan asked me, and I liked the idea immediately. It’s a beast!
“I went for the vocal, with the visual of driving fast on an empty highway. We shot the video over a couple of days in New York, and it all came together.”
Marshall adds: “I’d been writing a lot of music at the time for the record, and I was really getting back into big guitar tracks again, and I had a song – which would eventually become Shock Collar – that I felt could be a great single. It was something special when Dave said he would sing this.
“He’s achieved so much over the years, an incredible frontman, with such a soaring voice and presence, but with no trademark tone of celebrity or ego whatsoever. Very humble, gentle and giving.
“When we shot the video, he worked extremely hard on the day, performing each take with total gusto and energy, which didn't let up throughout his performances.”
Humanist will tour across the UK throughout March. Check out a list of dates below.
