DANIELS' Awesome 'Simple Math' Music Video for Manchester Orchestra
I like music videos that tell stories, as opposed to ones in which the band plays their instruments and lip-synchs in front of the camera (as if to explain they are a band and they play music). DANIELS (so named because both co-directors are named Daniel) tell a wonderfully dreamlike, mixed-up story of a car crash with their video for the title track off Manchester Orchestra’s forthcoming album Simple Math:
There’s apparently a behind-the-scenes video on the way, but I wanted to share this now and add the BTS later if it shows up — I thought the video was too great to wait.

I’ll be the first to admit I didn’t understand that, but I really like the way it was done. Very cool, and I can’t wait to see the BTS.

So wonderful, inventive and playful, it adds to the art of music video.
Hard to remember it can still be an art form, that literal interpretation is not always needed, and that dreaming and films can be both connected and disjointed all at once.
This was all hard to remember until I saw this. Brilliant.
