It ain't half cops, Grum

  • July 26, 2010
  • Popjustice

choosegrumpoter.jpgThe Grum album is a bit under­whelm­ing but when he gets it right* he gets it very right indeed and the new single, 'Through The Night', is a good choice.

Its video seems, at first glance, like an example of the sort of generic clip attached, seemingly at random, to club tunes on the verge of com­mer­cial greatness. Grum's previous video, for 'Can't Shake This Feeling', seemed like a par­tic­u­larly barbaric instance.

As it turns out, the 'Through The Night' video is a quite funny but also rather affec­tion­ate gay love story which fits the tune so well that it almost feels like the song actually inspired the video treatment.

(The vocal is from Toto's v amazing 'We Can Make It Tonight'.)
