PREMIERE: Max & The Electric - 'City Lover'

25 November 2014 | 3:10 pm | Staff Writer

Encompassing everything great about pop music, love songs and honest melody, Perth outfit Max & The Electric’s new clip for single City Lover proves low budget projects can sometimes produce the best results.

Filmed largely on a slow motion camera, main man James Stefanuto sums up the obscure and tantalising nature of the clip’s vibe perfectly:

“We all agreed on the fact that the video should encompass everything that has been popularised as "indie" in recent times and just mix that up with a bit of Tim & Eric style comedy strangeness and that Wes Anderson style and feel to the colours and frames,” Stefanuto said.

Tim & Eric meet Wes Anderson – what more could you ask for. Maybe the band consuming potentially dangerous material for your amusement?

“I'm pretty sure the cactus I ate for one of the shots was poisonous because my tongue felt really strange for the rest of the night.”

City Lover is taken from the band’s upcoming EP, Lecteur Eponyme.
