Having announced the career-spanning Teenage Wildlife: 25 Years Of Ash – released this coming Friday February 14th – ASH are today sharing a brand-new video for Girl From Mars. Originally taken from the band’s breakthrough album 1977, Girl From Mars marked the band’s first top 40 single. This brand-new video re-imagines Peter Christopherson-directed video as an interstellar transmission picked up by a space agency. It nods heavily towards the Rosalind Franklin Mars Rover, which from 2021 will scour the red planet in search of life.
Curated by the band, Teenage Wildlife:25 Years Of Ash documents the recorded output, both the hits and lesser known gems from the past twenty-five years. Featuring Tim Wheeler (vocals, guitar), Mark Hamilton (bass), Rick McMurray (drums) and Charlotte Hatherley (guitar) whilst highlighting Wheeler as one of the era’s most accomplished and enduring songwriters.
