I'm Not Getting What I Want From You

SantaGet ready for something you didn't ask for

Merry Winterval to all fans of THE EUROPEAN.

To celebrate the dark epicentre of the season, we have uploaded a new video for I'm Not Getting What I Want From You plus a very exciting and unique Multifaith Midwinter Message.

In this new video by THE EUROPEAN, Simon Break presents you with an unwanted gift. Disappointing on every level, disappointment becomes exultation and vice versa. Released December 2010 by Stolen Recordings. Directed by Simon Break with photography by Consuelo Asper Valdes

Watch the Multifaith Midwinter Message below, then click on Simon Break's face to see the pop video, or for a more high-fidelity experience click here to watch on Vimeo.

Peace on Earth.

UPDATE: Simon Break's Multifaith Midwinter Message has now been removed for traditional reasons. However, please feel free to enjoy the video for I'm Not Getting What I Want From You, below.

The Settler

Sony Vegas Pro 9The European endorses Sony Vegas Pro 9

In this short video, we present the heroic/pathetic figure of The Settler as he wanders, lost and conflicted, through the jagged ruins of Modernism, in search of some dimensional portal to the happy hunting grounds of the post-historic era.

The Settler is the new single by THE EUROPEAN. Released March 2010 by Stolen Recordings.

Directed by Simon Break.

Break? Snap!

I just must say that I truly love your music. My friends and I must have watched The Settler about 10 times within the last 24 hours. And the video from 'I'm Not Getting What I Want From You' is really quirky; love the grooves!

As a socialist myself, I'm concerned about the implication of you losing your views, or am I taking this all too literally? I know you have artist licence.

I must ask: will there be a release date for 'Walking in the Air' on vinyl? Are you planning on any other covers? I would love some more dark adaptations of nostalgic classics; I mean really I'd like 'Nothing Compares to You' by Sinead O'Conner. That'd be cool.

Thanks for being there Simon.

...or should I say THE EUROPEAN?

Mark - Apologies. Will sort that out pronto, things are somewhat hectic at the moment.

Char - Thanks very much for alerting us to this mistake. Digital distribution For The Fail. Heads will roll!

So is the album in the wrong order or named wrongly on itunes?

The track I thought was called 'The Settler' appears as 'Theme From New Fun'.

Makes no difference to me, thought you'd like to know. I'd think I was wrong but The Settler has one of those Explicit lyrics tags despite being an instrumental and its a different length to the video.

I bought it anyway.

I cannot get enough of your music! I haven't felt this way since the first time I heard the Method of Modern Love my Hall and Oats. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAaFt7_6qvk
Seriously you are kinda amazing!
