UNKLE ANNOUNCES VIDEO FOR "BURN MY SHADOW"
UNKLE has announced details for their first video for the first single "Burn My Shadow" off of the new album War Stories (Surrender All), due out July 24. Directed by newcomer Miguel Sapochnik, a storyboard artist and director whose credits include Trainspotting, A Life Less Ordinary and The Dreamer, the video was shot as a short five-minute film and features actor Goran Visjnic (the television show "ER" and the film Welcome To Sarajevo) in the starring role. Already causing a stir, the video has been banned by some TV and video channels upon its initial release overseas due to the controversial storyline.
