๐“‘๐“ป๐“ฒ๐“ช๐“ท: The music not so much, but the lyrics, that was harder for me. I'm getting more and more stringent with myself, from a quality point of view. I don't want to repeat myself, even if it's inevitable, because we have a very strong style but we're always looking for a new meaning, a new way to approach our identity. We threw away a lot more in this album, even melodies that we really liked but that weren't fresh enough. You have to learn to throw away gracefully, not to be precious.
๐“ข๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ฏ๐“ช๐“ท: With six albums, it's always hard not to repeat yourself, sometimes I would come up with melodies, think it's really good, and then it would sound like something we've done before.

๐“‘๐“ป๐“ฒ๐“ช๐“ท: No, quite the opposite. Because we want to evolve, to get better. If we were a career band, we would have made a lot of songs that sounded like our biggest hits, but we're not interested in that, even though we think that's what some factions of our fanbase would want. We make music to enjoy ourselves and then we hope that other people enjoy listening to us. If we don't enjoy it, it becomes mechanical and soulless... and boring.

When we compose, we don't think about the fans, we have to like the songs ourselves first. We also think that we create songs that we're going to play on stage for two years or more, if we don't believe in them a little bit, it's suicide.

๐“‘๐“ป๐“ฒ๐“ช๐“ท: Universally, the album has been well received so far. It's proof that if you really do something with passion, it shows and it's heard. And the fans recognize that this album was made with a lot of love.

๐“‘๐“ป๐“ฒ๐“ช๐“ท: Love is drug... but it's also an addiction, there are people who suffer from it. Addiction to love and sex is completely different from addiction to alcohol or drugs, but it's something that exists... But we didn't choose a theme for writing this album... It's the creative process itself that dictates that and that becomes the source of inspiration. We create the music instinctively. It's only afterwards that you realise in your subconscious that at that moment you are talking about love. It's more honest to do it that way. I know there are bands that write in a much more intellectual way but that's not really our thing.

๐“‘๐“ป๐“ฒ๐“ช๐“ท: We didn't want it that way. But what's true is that for every album we don't want to do the same thing as the last one. Not to use the same methods: that's where we start. But we don't choose the atmosphere or the subjects we're going to tackle. It doesn't reflect a state of mind but rather a discipline, i.e. it's by creating that inspiration comes. We are not the kind of artists who wait for inspiration to come, it comes through the work.

๐“ข๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ฏ๐“ช๐“ท: Loud Like Love and Begin The End came very quickly, but we had a hard time with A Million Little Pieces.
๐“‘๐“ป๐“ฒ๐“ช๐“ท: It took us a long time to find the right style for that song. It finally clicked in rehearsal with our producer. He almost became a fourth member of the band. During the writing process we were so emotionally involved that we had no perspective. It's essential to have someone more objective, someone from the outside to tell you: "Well, you've got it or not, it's not there yet". And a good producer doesn't tell you how to do it, but insists that you go on and find out for yourself where you want to go.

๐“‘๐“ป๐“ฒ๐“ช๐“ท: It's about a tragic love affair, torn apart by addictions. It's also about the search for redemption, and asking for forgiveness. What's interesting is that the first song on the album Loud Like Love and the last Bosco were written at the same time. On the one hand you have the big, saturated, punk, upbeat guitars, on the other hand a tragic story. We thought we had all the spectrums of emotions to explore between these two songs.

๐“‘๐“ป๐“ฒ๐“ช๐“ท: The saddest songs are the most tender songs, but not always. The most beautiful is extremely subjective and depends on what you find beautiful. Personally, it's the sad songs and melancholic tunes that touch me the most, but in a very positive way. I feel very alive listening to them because they provoke very strong emotions, like with this Beatles song, Yer Blues written by John Lennon. It's an extremely sad song, completely depressing, but the music is quite violent, hard blues that lets out a lot of frustration and anger. It comes with sadness... We are big Beatles fans.
๐“ข๐“ฝ๐“ฎ๐“ฏ๐“ช๐“ท: There are different degrees of sadness. If there is hope then it can be very poetic. Bosco for example touched me a lot because it's a very sad song with little hope, it's very heavy. But it's also beautiful.

It's actually a song about carnal obsession, about jealousy. The narrator of this song says: "You can rob banks, make fun of the disabled, behave in an anti-Semitic way, I don't care, as soon as you get home, be satisfied. But if you look at someone else the way you look at me, watch out! Obsession and jealousy are two things that interest me: how to talk about love, without talking about its brutal and violent side?

According to various surveys, it can be concluded that many fans are not exactly enthusiastic about this song ...๐Ÿ˜Š


๐Ÿ”ธ๐Ÿ’ฌ - Brian, your dad and brother are bankers. The song "Rob The Bank", is it a message to your family?
Brian Molko: "The song is more of obsession than of recession (laughs). It is about the carnal and extreme emotions, about a list of blameworthy behaviors.
The narrator tells his object of desire: "behave in a forbidden, unpleasant manner, do whatever you want, until you return home."

Dear friends, you may not be a fan of this song, but what if you are more interested in the video that was made for this not-so-popular song?
It has an interesting history that has fascinated me and that again touches on the issue of human rights violations.

The official video for this song was made by director ๐ƒ๐ข๐ž๐ ๐จ ๐‚๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐ž๐ซ๐š๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง ๐œ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐š๐›๐จ๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ƒ๐š๐ฏ๐ž ๐‘๐š๐ฆ๐ข๐ซ๐ž๐ณ.
The best will be the director's statement on this work, which he was entrusted with:

"Rob The Bank" is a music video I wrote and co-directed with Dave Ramirez for Placebo's "Loud Like Love" Delux DVD Album Edition (Sep 2013). Commissioned by Universal UK. The inspiration for the video came from the strong images coming from Turkey during the #OccupyGezy protests back in June 2013. We heard from a friend that the devastating events were not getting any global attention, and we felt inspired to place these graphic real world images in a beautiful grayscale slow-motion world.


The video's teaser hit 400,000 Youtube views on its first day, going viral in Turkey.

So, what kind of event was it? I would like to borrow the words of our dear soulmate Olga, who has written about this before:

๐Ÿ”ธ⭐ In the early summer of 2013, three and a half million people took to the streets across Turkey over a three-week period to protest Erdogan's increasingly authoritarian policies.


The protests were triggered by government building plans in Gezi Park, the small green area on the edge of Taksim Square in Istanbul. Erdogan wanted to demolish the park to build a replica of the Ottoman-era Taksim Military Barracks that would include a shopping mall. But local environmental protests immediately grew into a large opposition movement.


The price of people’s hopes for a different society, civil rights and freedom was high: twenty-two people were killed and more than 8,000 injured.

Who would have doubted Placebo supporting Gezi movement!⭐๐Ÿ”ธ

Speaking of “Rob the Bank,” both the song and its music video clip seem to be resonating strongly in Turkey. How does the video tie in with the song, and how do you feel about it holding such an important meaning to your Turkish fans?

Brian: "It’s gone completely viral, and it’s only been [up a few days]. The way that these videos were made was that we gave 10 directors a tiny budget with no brief, no direction, and said, “Off you go, now do something.”

The director who made the “Rob the Bank” video is based in New York. When I saw the video for the first time, I did notice this bust/statue with a gas mask on a plinth that was covered in a Turkish flag. Now, being aware of what’s going on in Turkey and what I’ve seen going on through the news, I noted it and I thought it was quite clever, and it works. But I didn’t think that much of it. I just thought it works, and that it’s a very appropriate image. We couldn’t have predicted the reaction.

It seems to have been appropriated by the voices of unrest and by the Turkish youth, and by anybody who has a problem with how the government’s been dealing with peaceful protests in Turkey. The identification with Turkish youth, in trying to end this, is better than any kind of constructed identification that we could have thought of intellectually. I’m very, very pleased that so many people have identified with it. The thing is, I think some people write songs like Steven Spielberg makes a movie. Spielberg pushes buttons and tells you how to feel. I don’t do that. I like there to be enough ambiguity so that people can relate their own personal stories through it. You take the spirit of the song, and then the imagery from the video, and you seal the identification. From a nation that’s actually quite far away from us, and it’s quite different culturally from ours in the UK, it’s something that’s fantastic to watch. I’m very pleased—surprised, and pleased."

Dear soulmates,
Today we’re going to talk about probably the most misunderstood song from the album ๐‹๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐‹๐ข๐ค๐ž ๐‹๐จ๐ฏ๐ž, ๐‘๐Ž๐ ๐“๐‡๐„ ๐๐€๐๐Š. The first two verses contain a weird list of wrong, stupid, ugly actions, and only in the latest lines the whole true meaning of the song is revealed to an attentive listener.
๐‘ฉ๐’“๐’Š๐’‚๐’ explains it shortly and accurately.
๐Ÿ“ข“Rob the Bank” is not about financial crisis. It’s about obsession and jealousy, very carnal, primal obsession and jealousy.
(๐‘ƒ๐‘ข๐‘Ÿ๐‘’ ๐‘‰๐‘œ๐‘™๐‘ข๐‘š๐‘’ "๐‘„&๐ด: ๐‘ƒ๐‘™๐‘Ž๐‘๐‘’๐‘๐‘œ'๐‘  ๐ต๐‘Ÿ๐‘–๐‘Ž๐‘› ๐‘€๐‘œ๐‘™๐‘˜๐‘œ", ๐‘†๐‘’๐‘'13)

๐Ÿ“ขI understand why it’s misunderstood; a lot of people take it on face value thinking it’s about the economic crisis but the story of that which Brian had to explain to me before I could understand really. It is a list of quasi-illegal acts (like sort of criminal things like robbing the bank for example, if you do that you can get arrested) the song is basically a list of bad things and bad actions that the person is doing but the person who’s singing basically says I don’t care what you do or the kind of person you are, just as long as the end of the day you just get home and f*ck me.

Rob the bank
Of England and America.
Rob the bank
Of the entire Eurozone
Robe the bank
Of Mexica and Canada.
Rob the bank
Then take me home.
Take me home
To make love.

Rob the bank,
Make the joke out of dyslexia.
Rob the bank,
Then pick your nose.
Robe the bank
Paint a picture of the swastika.
Robe the bank
Then take me home.
Take me home
To make love.

And if ever I suspect that in your head
you're somewhere else you are thinkin'
or maybe you don't think of me at all
and if ever you conspire to woo another
I will not be forsaken
beware the very hell and all its fury,
if I am scorned, scorned

Rob the bank in Luxemburg and Monaco
Rob the bank in Lichtenstein and Rome
Rob the bank pick the biggest vault in Moscow
Rob the bank then take me home

Then take me home
and make love
