One of the most hyped tunes of 2012, Twin Shadow's magnificent, eighties-influenced 'Five Second' has been given a suitably impressive new video - watch it below on Gigwise.

Opening with a lengthy motorcycle montage, backed with a Twin Peaks-esque backing track, a husky voice sets the tone for the video from US singer/songwriter George Lewis JR. The video is based on the novel 'Night Of The Silver Sun', which was written by Twin Shadow himself, along with writer Eric Green, and is a creepy affair full of fog-drenched forests and mysterious masked assailants attempting to tackle a biker.

The video is directed by Keith Musil and the track is taken from the band's second album, 'Confess' - which is due for release on 2 July, 2012.
