Everyone's favourite Norwegians/Modular signees, YOUNG DREAMS, are back with their fourth video clip from their debut LP. It's for the new single 'Footprints' and throws back to the clips that have come before it.
What do we mean by that? Well, the video clip for 'Footprints' is crafted from the highlights and money shots from the previous videos for 'Young Dreams', 'Fog Of War', and 'First Days Of Something', all directed by Kristoffer Borgli. So for those of you who haven't had a chance to check out the preceding clips, that's probably why you don't understand what's happening in this one.
Now, whilst some may criticise both Young Dreams and Borgli for being lazy or unimaginative, by creating a clip out of snippets of others. It turns out that this was the plan from the beginning. The other three clips are all based around the concept of young love, so when a medley is created - it ties all the narratives together to discover the various shapes of the emotions within youths in love. It also exposes the wonderful continuity, exemplary aesthetic, timeless storytelling and perfect casting Borgli weaves throughout his works.
Ultimately it's a very smart plan that has been implemented to perfection, without anyone picking up on it whilst it was going on.
And even if you don't dig it, 'Footprints' is just another slice of paradise pop from this insanely talented 4-piece.
The 'Footprints' EP package is out now through Modular, and it features remixes by Pandreas, Naysayer & Gilsun, Put Your Hands Up For Neo-Tokyo and The Forever Men.
