Young Wonder – “Electrified” Video (Stereogum Premiere)
Young Wonder is an electro-pop duo from Cork, Ireland who have a mastery for crafting lush, skittering soundscapes. “Electrified” combines big, bright synths and features lead singer Rachel Koeman’s hitting the hook’s high notes while harmonizing with monster-sound vocal distortion. Its video was directed by fellow Irishmen, Brendan Canty and Conal Thomson of the art collective Feel Good Lost, who have worked with Passion Pit and Keep Shelley In Athens, among others. Says Canty (not of Fugazi and Rites Of Spring fame) of the clip, “We and the band talked a lot about creating a more montage-based, pop-style video that really captures the personality of the band, their environment, the track, and the new record whilst still including that ethereal imagery that we are known for.” Check out the dark but spritely video below.
