"Too Many Friends" is a single by alternative rock band Placebo, the first single off of their seventh studio album Loud Like Love.^[1] The single was released on 8 July 2013, as a digital download but was actually released on 23 August 2013 in physical format as a limited edition CD and 7" single in Germany. The song deals with people on the internet and being far more close to friends on the internet, rather than off the computer. It is also about loneliness, which Placebo frontman Brian Molko said was the "modern version of, 'I’m sitting by the phone, waiting for you to call.'"^[2]^[3]

Music video

The band went to Los Angeles to make the music video with filmmaker Saman Kesh.^[4] American transgressive novelist Bret Easton Ellis provides a voiceover in the video as a narrator.^[5] The video, which premiered on YouTube, presents a "detective case" regarding a series of events occurring during a pool party.^[6]
