Luke Bather, of this parish, has delivered a satisfyingly twisted tale for Liverpudlian math-rock outfit Alpha Male Tea Party, all about when the American President met a tall dark stranger in an underground car park.Read into that what you will, although Luke says he's tried to avoid too many Trumpisms. "I cast a dude that doesn’t look like him, set it in the past and made it about Satan. Yeah, there’s some parallels in there because of course there’s gonna be - but I really just wanted to make a deal with the devil b-movie thing."It was mostly inspired by Crooked, a novel in which disgraced President Richard Nixon is actually a Russian double-agent who gets mixed up in the occult. But even if the actor isn't orange, you can have just as much fun imagining that it's the disgraceful Donald.
