#ZodiacalZeitgeist: Placebo – “Infra-Red” (Audio)
‘Meds’
Virgin – 13 March 2006
*Placebo – “Infra-Red” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmqRpbdFhkg // “Infra-Red” by English alternative rock band, Placebo, was the third single from their fifth studio album ‘Meds’. ‘Meds’ reached number 7 in the UK Albums Chart and also became Placebo’s first album to chart on the US Billboard 200, where it reached number 180. Four singles were released from the album: “Because I Want You”, “Song to Say Goodbye”, “Infra-Red” and “Meds” (which they should’ve released first). This is the band’s final album to feature third former drummer, Steve Hewitt. The music video features businessmen apparently conspiring against the public. They observe a computer disk containing a graphic of a DNA molecule with a hazardous ligand. Meanwhile, a group of ants interfere with their computer equipment. A character, identified as a corporate executive president, gives a press conference with the help of a computerized prompter, but the ants’ interference causes the prompter to say “I lied to you. We are the enemy”, which the president reads.*
