Watch: The Crookes Reveal Music Video For "Play Dumb"

Sheffield based indie pop/rock quartet The Crookes have revealed the video for their latest single "Play Dumb".

The single will be released on March 3rd via fierce panda records on 7" vinyl and digitally, and is the lead-off single from their upcoming third studio album 'Soapbox', set to be released on April 15

Having spent last November locked away in a church on top of a mountain in Italy with only their recording gear and their thoughts for company The Crookes' complete sense of isolation manifested itself in ‘Soapbox’, a fearsomely stroppy record which is littered with put downs and push offs, none more so than on the twangy, angry 'Play Dumb', in which singer George snarls "Don’t you dare compare me to poster boys too thick to see the truth” and "I'm dirt under your thumb, not pretty enough to play dumb".

The fun video was directed by the band. Watch it below.
