Metronomy melden sich mit ihrer neuen Single „Lately“ samt Musikvideo zurück. Regie beim Clip, das eine Hommage an den 80er-Jahre-Klassiker „Liebling, ich habe die Kinder geschrumpft“ ist, führte Bandleader Joseph Mount. Es zeigt die geschrumpfte Band die aus einer alten Kassetten auf dem Bett eines Schulmädchens rausklettert.
Mount sagt: „This music video is a pop promo in the grand tradition of pop promos: End of school on a Friday afternoon, Mysterious little people that live in a cassette tape, concerned parents and special FX. The song and video are both about growing up.
I’ve absolutely loved taking the opportunity to direct our own music videos. I have quite strong opinions on what music videos are for in 2019 and how they should be presented and this has been a chance for me to put my money where my mouth is!
The most impressive thing I’ve realised is how much of a group effort creating a music video is. I’ve always known it, but this time I’ve obviously worked much closer with the various characters, involved in every department. So, thank you to them.“
