Watch: Elephant – Skyscraper [Best Fit Premiere]
South London two-piece Elephant have gone from strength to strength in 2013. New single ‘Skyscraper’ oozes a confidence built on self-consciousness, a delicacy born of fragility; the duo appear to have cast off the shackles of their stormy past once and for all, unleashing bags of personality in the process. Their rejuvenation continues with this beautifully shot video for ‘Skyscraper’.
Focusing attention on ice-cool lead vocalist Amelia Rivas delivering her candied verses; the David Richardson directed clip is also cut with flickering candlelight and lightly wafting curtains which echo the dreamy, vaguely calypso guitar motif and choppy bass ripples of the track. The pretty, desaturated film represents another purposeful step toward their full-length debut on Memphis Industries and we can hardly contain our excitement.
Elephant will perform at The Waiting Room on 22 May, tickets are still available from here.
