Placebo are the beautiful edge of rock where glitter meets punk - a throwback and a toss forward. Placebo are impossibly glam. The heritage of Lou Reed, Iggy Pop and David Bowie at their most rhinestone and diamente androgynous. The sparkle of dangerous liaisons and hidden truths.
Placebo are all the strangers in the night.
Stranger danger at its most tempting. The scenario is repeated over and over again within its core setting of a long corridor in suitably glam yet indefinable house. Doors open and close continually. She was also influenced by a classic French film by Alain Renais which features long hotel corridors and stuff like that. It started off as a conventional love story and I wanted it to be a bit more ambiguous and a little bit more like a love triangle.
