Paul Weller has unveiled a new video taken from his album, Saturns Pattern.
The clip is for โPick It Upโ, which will be released as a single on December 18th.
Talking about the song, Weller explains: โI was trying to get a Meters vibe to it. Stan (the producer) had a drum loop and I put a funky guitar on it and that was all we had for a while. Eventually we pieced it all together. โWhatever shatters pick it upโ: pretty straight-forward message.โ
The video for โPick It Upโ features Martin Freeman performing some rather surreal DIY in an orange jumpsuit and wielding a chainsaw. The video has been difrected by Ben Smallwood.
โPick It Upโ will be released on 7โ vinyl and as a 2-track Download / Stream, backed by a previously unreleased Dub Mix. A special 7โ bundle via paulweller.com includes an exclusive bonus 7โ including the previously unreleased track โOn Days Like Theseโ b/w โPraise If You Wannaโ which was previously only available on Japanese formats of the Saturns Pattern album.
