Courteeners unveil the video for new single Lose Control released on 28th January through V2. The single is succeeded by the release of the bands third studio album 'ANNA' out 4th February.

Shot and directed by Joe Connor, the video captures the band performing against a series of projected images against the backdrop of a Manchester warehouse.
