Watch: Visage Premiere "Dreamer I Know" Music Video

Visage have unveiled a new video for "Dreamer I Know", taken from their just released first new album in 29 years 'Hearts And Knives', which is currently our Album of the Week (www.koolrockradio.com).

About the song the band commented: "'Dreamer I Know' is the most immediately accessible song on the album and features a catchy adult-pop chorus which imprints rapidly. Mick Macneil (the former creative musical core of Simple Minds) adds the lead keyboard lines which although played on an old Korg analog monosynth somehow manage to evoke his Scottish homeland."

The video  filmed around Dalston, London, was directed by  Armadno. Watch it below.
