See it first exclusively on NME below, along with our interview with the Sheffield legend where he discusses his new album, the state of the nation, and what’s next for his huge musical Standing At The Sky’s Edge.Set for release on May 31, the former Longpigs and Pulp man turned solo star’s 10th album ‘In This City They Call You Love’ now comes previewed by ‘Prism In Jeans’.
The video was filmed in Sheffield city centre in the shadow of the Moore Street Substation, which features on the sleeve of the album.
