YOUNG MAGIC "NIGHT IN THE OCEAN" MUSIC VIDEO!!!

check out the stunning vintage-styled, experimental, super 8mm visuals for Young Magic's fuzzy, distortion-laden, spaced-out epic single Night In The Ocean, off their forthcoming album "Melt". video directed by the uber-talented Andrew de Freitas {Kieran Blake's Yer Not A Sunrise, Cool Rainbows Southern Summer Sun} for Newfoundland Tack!


de Freitas gives us a delicious juxtaposition between lyrical scenic imagery {reminiscent of the poetic films of Jean-Daniel Pollet} et the intimate et playful interactions between a young couple who take turns drawing on each others bodies. an inspired use of overlaid doodly, geometric 2D line graphics {evocative of Ben Rivers' "Slow Action"} cleverly connects the two layers/surfaces/skins together . there is also a playfully lo-fi, homage-of-sorts to Antonioni's iconic, anti-consumerist, explosive climax from Zabriskie Point.
