New Music Video - Dusk and Children The second So So Modern video from the album Crude Futures. Dusk and Children follows on from January's 'The Worst Is Yet To Come' in taking a lead character from the exhibition and recreating an environment around them. In this case a contemporary remake of the 1960's film 'They Shoot Horses Dont's They?'.
