Bret Easton Ellis Narrates New Placebo Music Video

UK alternative rockers Placebo have unveiled one of the most epic music videos of the year and they've enlisted the help of one of the most acclaimed authors of recent times, Bret Easton Ellis to take part in the clip.

Ellis narrates during the six and half minute long Too Many Friends, which depicts a stylish whodunnit storyline that flows more like a mini-movie than a music video. This could very well be one of the clips of the year - check it out below.

Ellis is known for his dark, cult novels American Psycho, Less Than Zero and The Rules Of Attraction, all of which have been adapted to the big screen.

The track is the first single off Placebo's upcoming album Loud Like Love, which is available from Friday 13 September. This will be their first record since 2009's Battle for the Sun.
