MF Tomlinson has released the video for his new single ‘Sum Of Nothing’. The song is his meditation on the climate crisis and the absurdity of working toward a future that might not be waiting for us. Filmed in LA, the video is set on the very last day on earth and MF is skipping town.

Director Susie Francis took inspiration from "the ever-changing playful momentum of the track, the story telling of early Spike Jonze videos and a moment of West Side Story choreography," when developing her vision for this piece…"If you listen to the lyrics, there's a lot happening here and I hope the video can keep up!" 

Accordingly the video races along, landscapes and people fly by until suddenly an abandoned grocery cart picks MF up and whisks him away into the desert. Freed from the world, he and some like-minded friends make the most of what time they have left before they watch the very last sunset.

Regarding the video MF Tomlinson says, “Shooting was extremely physical and it was right in the middle of a heat wave. Polyester trousers and Doc Martens were probably the wrong choice - needless to say I got heatstroke every single day! …Susie found this strip in the desert where people had dumped all this garbage - as far as an apocalyptic video goes there was a readymade set! It’s a video about climate change, so we tried to be as environmentally friendly as possible in every other respect including making sure all the trash used as props was properly recycled. We took the golf clubs and metal detector back to the junk shop and the cart back to the original store.”

Eccentric singer, producer and instrumental innovator Look Mum No Computer has released his debut EP, Human Procrastination. To accompany the release, he’s also unveiled a brand new video for the title track where Look Mum No Computer and a group of Teletubbies encounter zero gravity. Blending together the expansive sonic textures of his home-built synthesisers with irresistible indie-tinged vocals, Human Procrastination is a gigantic and inventive electro gem that is both equal parts haunting and graceful.

Regarding the title track Look Mum No Computer says, “Human Procrastination is just about what we all tend to do, from the smallest job right up to the biggest things effecting humanity as a whole, good old procrastination. The funny thing is I wrote this whilst procrastinating from finishing another song, so it goes full circle. It’s looking at the fact we are talking about the issues we are facing and have been facing for many years but not really doing anything about it.”

Continuing further about the EP he says, “All the songs are about similar themes, be it modern life being rubbish, even though I probably have rose tinted glasses on ‘Modern Gas’, to ‘Grandmas Money’ being about baby boomers buying all the houses making it harder for me to build a synthesiser out of a house!!! It’ only a matter of time!”

Following his sold out headline show at London’s Electrowerkz, an extensive sold out tour in Germany earlier this year and a mind-bending performance at Deer Shed Festival in July, Look Mum No Computer will be hitting the road again next month for a seven-date UK tour, before touring Europe in November.
