Photography: Ashleigh MillsWhile in the midst of writing their new album, Sydney soul punks Fait Accompli were invited earlier in the year to test out a brand new room at King Sounds Studios in Sydney.They spent a day recording their own electrified punk version of the M.I.A classic ‘Born Free’.

When recording was complete alot of video ideas were discussed. Ray who is friends with Australian adventure painter Anthony Lister asked if he was keen on making a music video. As luck would have it, Lister said yes.

A few days later in pure Lister style, he emailed a download link and disappeared overseas.

This week Fait Accompli are on tour to celebrate the release of BORN FREE. First show kicks off in Sydney this Thursday 17 September at Newtown Social Club Tix here

…”Although we are living in a time where some of our freedoms are currently being held to ransom, people are defying the odds by standing up for their rights everyday. This is a big reason why the war cry of ‘I was Born Free‘ resonates with us not only as a band but as people. Born Free is a call to arms, a message to unite us all, to embrace our collective right to be free all around the world”.
