By Dan Biggane | June 5, 2024
Pet Shop Boys have released the video for their latest single, A New Bohemia. Directed by acclaimed British filmmaker Andrew Haigh (All Of Us Strangers), the video was shot on location in Margate, Kent. Artist Tracey Emin and actor Russell Tovey make cameo appearances in the video alongside the people of Margate.
Pet Shop Boys said: “We had a lovely sunny day in Margate filming this video with Andrew Haigh, fresh from his success with All Of Us Strangers. Thanks to Andrew and all concerned, in particular the many local residents who took part, including Russell Tovey and Tracey Emin.”
Andrew Haigh said: “I have loved the Pet Shop Boys since the release of Please. I have every album and have seen them play live many times over the years. Getting to make a music video with them has been a dream come true.”
