This likely isn't what you think of when you think "dance video" but damned if it isn't a great example of how to make it work with its own off-kilter rhythm. Essentially an exploration piece, we encounter what could be a lost tribe living in a forgotten place, communing with one another through hypnotic movement and physical contact.
Franz Ferdinand have revealed the new video to their new single, Stand On The Horizon , which is released through Domino.
Directed by Karan Kandhari , the director of the award winning film Bye Bye Miss Goodnight and more recently The Vaccines Melody Calling video, the stunningly shot video is based around a live performance in an old-fashioned club. Kandhari said of the video:
3 video mixers, 2 tube cameras, 1 rear projection screen, The insides of 1 lamb, some wigs, a wide angle lens, some slit scanning, some bedsheets, yoghurt, Jelly and coagulated spaghetti and are just some of the things we needed when We teamed up with Pulled Apart by Horses.
Cast: Theodora Van Der Beek, Ben Higgs, Nadine Wild-Palmer, Amer Chadha-Patel & Kyle Shepard
Fear isn't so difficult to understand. After all, weren't we all frightened as children? Nothing has changed since Little Red Riding Hood faced the big bad wolf. What frightens us today is exactly the same sort of thing that frightened us yesterday. It's just a different wolf. This fright complex is rooted in every individual. - Alfred Hitchcock

How can you not be intrigued about a video that opens with the question, "Are you afraid of death?" Things live up to that question as we see mortality in all its myriad ways — the bug zapper, the drink, the smoldering love — but stay enigmatic enough to align with the lyrical motif of being dead inside.
I'm personally fond for the toilet humor detour — how can you when the song's refrain asks if you can fuck to this shit — but there's plenty of visual hooks as a camera dollies around MNEK and an ever-changing cast of characters.
Up and coming Danish songstress that is MØ, presents her latest single 'Don't Wanna Dance'. Directed by Georgia Hudson, the video is a fun embrace of music and dance.
Daydreaming can cause the mind to wander into a series of unexplainable wormholes..just like channel surfing on TV.
One moment you are in one place... the next moment you are in another place... and the next you just have no recollection in where you are or how you got there...and now I'm about to start waffling.
This is a music video for SUPERFOOD's track entitled TV. Viva 4:3!
