Video

Here’s the new video for Hell Broke Luce, a stand-out track from Tom Waits’ 2011 albums Bad As Me:

Old croaky issued a statement about the video saying:

“As most of you guessed, it’s a tour…a tour de force! (Director) Matt Mahurin has created an apocalyptic war dream to accompany the song Hell Broke Luce. Kathleen (Brennan, his wife and musical collaborator) and I envisioned it as an enlightened drill sergeant yelling the hard truths of war to a brand new batch of recruits. The video grew from the gnawing image of a soldier pulling his home, through a battlefield, at the end of a rope. I think you will agree, it’s uplifting and fun.”
