The Orielles – “Come Down On Jupiter” Video
The Orielles are a sleek and psychedelic indie-pop quartet from Halifax, West Yorkshire, England. They released their debut Silver Dollar Moment in early 2018 on the venerable UK label Heavenly, and today they’ve announced its follow-up, due out at the end of February.
Disco Volador’s opening track and lead single, “Come Down On Jupiter,” begins as a languid shuffle, but before long it has exploded into guitar-pop bliss. And then suddenly it’s something like outer-space disco rock. As the five-minute runtime unfolds, the transformations continue to be as abundant as the hooks. “Come Down On Jupiter” also has a video by Rose Hendry, which finds the Orielles reliving a spilled-coffee incident at Arments pie & mash shop in Kennington, London. The clip’s droll, understated quality is a distinct contrast from the music’s Technicolor thrills.
A statement from the director:
When I first heard the track I was immediately transported into some sort of mystery melodrama from another era, with a strong dose of something psychedelic. This was my starting point, alongside an image by photographer, Ralph Gibson, of a cup of tea sitting on a beige table, bathed in warm sunlight with a plastic spoon resting against the lip. I enjoyed the idea of centring the video around an incident with a cup of tea — that felt dramatic to me — something “mundane” becoming something dramatic. I wanted to encapsulate the playful psychedelia in a psychological and structural way as opposed to the “pastiched to death” VW campervan kind of way. Add to that toast and the rest developed from there.
