Morrissey: "Ganglord" (Video)

8:23 a.m. · March 8, 2010 · by Nick Neyland

Morrissey has an album of B-sides available titled Swords, which he’s clearly proud of—the former Smiths singer has toured the record, and has shot a video for the track “Ganglord.” This song originally appeared on the flipside of “The Youngest Was Most Loved” from the Ringleader of the Tormentors album.

This clip is about as goth as Morrissey will ever get, with plenty of black and white footage of him trooping around in a cemetery and staring wistfully off into the middle distance. The song has a “How Soon is Now” flavor to it, which will appease his hardcore fans, whose hopes of a Smiths reunion are starting to look like a distant dream.
