Music video

A music video to accompany the release of "Indian Summer" was first released onto YouTube on 17 January 2013.[1] It marks Jamie Morrison's first appearance in a music video for the band, even though Javier Weyler played the recorded drums on the track before his departure. It was shot in Leicestershire at a combination of the Music Cafe on Braunstone Gate in the city as well as the Great Central Railway which runs through the county. Kelly Jones directed the music video starring Caroline Ford as a girl who seduces a young musician (Kerr Logan, playing a younger version of Kelly) during the course of a train journey.
