Scott Hutchison’s Band Mastersystem Release Video for Their Final Single: Watch

Mastersystem—the supergroup comprised of band members from Frightened Rabbit, Editors, and Minor Victories—have shared an emotional new video for “Old Team” in honor of late frontman Scott Hutchison. The video is comprised of performance footage from the only Mastersystem tour that took place in the UK a few weeks prior to Scott’s death. The track originally appeared on the band’s album Dance Music, which was released earlier this year. The stand-alone single, which they’re calling their final single, officially comes out on November 30 in a limited run of 500 vinyl copies. All proceeds are being donated to the Scott Hutchison Foundation. Check it out below.

In a statement, the band said about the video:

This footage was shot during the first and last Mastersystem tour. The great thing about it is it just shows a bunch of fellas, having the best time, ripping the piss out of each other, laughing and doing some shows. There’s something fucking brilliant about this…something free of the pressure that bands can turn into…That’s what Mastersystem was about, just a record, a band built from going back to how we all started, throwing riffs and cords around until it sounds something like a tune. No fuss.

This was Scott’s favourite tune on the record, and the spark that lit the paper that led to the whole Mastersystem album. It was always in our plans to be THE single off the record.

We’re very fucking proud of it, which is why we’re honouring our original plans to put it out. It will not be a thing to propel Mastersystem forward into new places, but serve as a monument to all involved and to all that listened….That we made a class record we all believe in.

Cheers for listening. Justin, Grant, James and Nick.
