Anton Barbeau ‘Come Home To Me’ – video premiere

The title track from American maverick ANTON BARBEAU’s  forthcoming Gare du Nord / Think Like A Key / Rock Indiana LP

Anton says:  “‘Come Home To Me’ is the title track from my new album, released 9th October. The song and video feature XTC’s Colin Moulding and Dave Gregory, as well as guest vocalists Brad Cross, Christy Claes and Julia VBHB. Glued, chopped, cobbled, smashed, barbed and mashed! That’s how this video was made.
Julia filmed me in California lip-syncing on a treadmill, on a VERY hot day. Our dog was not amused. For the song’s middle bit, we stuck me on one of them jiggly  ‘vibration plates’.  When Christy and Brad came over to join Julia for their greenscreen scenes, I’m pretty sure we had the fan on. Still hot, but much cooler. I’m a fan of rough, glitchy edits and you get those by the mouthful with ‘Come Home To Me’. I like to say, ‘If you can’t fix it, don’t.’ Days after the California footage was nailed down, Stuart Hobbs made the trek to Swindon to film Colin Moulding and Dave Gregory. Colin was filmed in his kitchen and Dave at the local college. With my aforementioned editing savvy, you’d never know that these guys aren’t performing inside your very own television set! Magic.”
