Despite proclaiming Swords a “meek disaster” last December, Morrissey has gone ahead and made a music video to promote one of the (best) tracks off his late-2009 b-sides album: “Ganglord,” the flip side to 2006’s “The Youngest Was the Most Loved.” Shown above, the arty, black-and-white clip — brought to our attention by Twenty Four Bit — was directed by Dennis Roberts and features Moz and his bandmates leisurely hanging out in a Los Angeles graveyard.
