Video: Eccentric new clip from David Bowie

Happy days: Tilda Swinton and David Bowie enjoy a pleasant afternoon’s stroll

David Bowie has released another weird film in the lead-up to his new album The Next Day.

Directed by Floria Sigismondi and starring the Thin White Duke alongside actress Tilda Swinton, the clip – which appears to be a surrealistic critique of celebrity culture, incorporating an unprovoked attack with a Morphy Richards electric carving knife – accompanies the track The Stars (Are Out Tonight).

If you like what you see and hear below, the song is available on iTunes right now.
