New Music Video - Spoek Mathambo "Closer"

"Covering Joy Division‘s classic “She’s Lost Control” (also covered by Jamaican born Afrofuturist predecessor Grace Jones shortly after its release), Spoek applies the Sankofa principle by learning from the teachings of the past to go forward to get across his idea of a scary not too distant future. Director Pieter Hugo and DP Michael Cleary’s stark black & white images shot in South Africa are the perfect company to Joy Division frontman Ian Curtis’s bleak lyrics."
