Snow Patrol go for comedy

One of my fave bands, Snow Patrol, is readying their 6th album Fallen Empires, and it seems that they're moving away from the sombre ballads and going for more fun.

After all, the lead single "Called Out In The Dark" has a funky soul-pop vibe that is a bit of a departure for the band, but a departure that works.

And then we have the video, which features Gary Lightbody being replaced by dashing Pirates of the Caribbean actor Jack Davenport for the video shoot. Not happy with this decision, Gary makes himself a big bother on the set by ruining shots, knocking over walls and messing up the dancers' choreography. 

It's actually quite enjoyalble! Take a look.
