The Cribs recently added Johnny Marr to their band, because apparently the legendary Smiths guitarist decided he wasn't doing enough simple, Strokes-lite Brit-rock. The guy made The Queen is Dead, so I guess we are required to cut him some slack, but "Cheat on Me," the first single from the upcoming Marr-helmed Cribs album, Ignore the Ignorant, is hard to love. The video isn't that great either; it's a quick performance clip that looks like it was shot for about $17.
Ignore the Ignorant is due out on Sept. 7 via Wichita/Warner Brothers. [Stereogum]
