…how you feel about me, VIDEO: Daði Freyr/Daði og Gagnamagnið – Think About Things [Guðný Rós Þórhallsdóttir, director]
Daði Freyr – & Co album feat. the single Think About Things, avaiöable now at Apple Music.
by Walter Price
Berlin-based Icelandic composer/producer Daði Freyr’s latest artwork Daði og Gagnamagnið and the addictive album ‘&Ok’ is at the interesting crossroads of avant-garde and disco perfection. Their latest single Think About Things is one of the most unforgettable pop songs being set free so far this year, and this one has all the added funky. Tons of catchy retro-pop vibrancy cradling the beautifully tangible lyrics.
But, the equally outstanding star of this track, is the music video. Directed by Guðný Rós Þórhallsdóttir, the film is a study in deadpan, quirky, perfectly imperfect choreography as it conveys the uneasiness of laying your self on the line. And mark my words, this song will be the international singalong groove of Spring and Summer…No doubt.
For fans of The Flaming Lips, Lana Del Rey, and/or Aldous Harding…
