IDLES’ new album CRAWLER was released last year and cemented their status as one of the most important bands making music today. Coming on the heels of their landmark Glastonbury performance & as well as many other festivals this summer, the band have shared a new music video for album highlight “Stockholm Syndrome” ahead of their upcoming North American Fall tour.
Speaking about the video, directors Charlotte Gosch and the band’s own Lee Kiernan explain;
“The process of making the video was very fulfilling for the both of us as we were able to physically create what we were imagining. Both the masks and shapes were handmade and painted by ourselves and friends.
Working with our DOP Rob French we were also able to realise the long shots of each verse and the opening scene of the dancers. We both love the exhaustive and immediate feeling that a long shot can convey, like in Gus Van Sant’s Gerry, which we referenced quite literally.
