Directed and edited by IDLES guitarist Lee Kiernan and written by frontman Joe Talbot, the video for ‘When The Lights Come On’ stars Heavy Lungs’ George Garratt.

Garratt is seen in the black-and-white clip riding a bicycle at night while wearing spike-pronged body armour and sunglasses – footage of which is interspersed with clips of him dancing topless in the street and falling over in slow motion.
