Pet Shop Boys release the video for their latest single, ‘A new bohemia’, today. Watch the video here.

Directed by acclaimed British filmmaker Andrew Haigh (‘All of Us Strangers’), the video was shot on location in Margate, Kent. Artist Tracey Emin and actor Russell Tovey make cameo appearances in the video alongside the people of Margate.

Pet Shop Boys said: “We had a lovely sunny day in Margate filming this video with Andrew Haigh, fresh from his success with ‘All of Us Strangers’. Thanks to Andrew and all concerned, in particular the many local residents who took part, including Russell Tovey and Tracey Emin.”

Andrew Haigh said: “I have loved the Pet Shop Boys since the release of ‘Please’. I have every album and have seen them play live many times over the years. Getting to make a music video with them has been a dream come true.”

The ‘A new bohemia’ single is available now as a five-track digital bundle which includes a radio edit and the original demo of the track, plus an Alex Metric remix. Two further tracks are also included, previously unreleased Pet Shop Boys songs – ‘It's not a crime’ and ‘I've got plans (involving you)’ – which were originally written by Chris and Neil in 1982 and re-recorded in 2022. A CD single will also be released on Friday 5 July
