Joywave Share Movie Inspired Video For 'Obsession'
- Written by Marky Edison
Joywave have released the video for their new single, ‘Obsession’. It was directed by Laura Gorun, Cooper Roussel, Dimitri Basil (Kings Of Leon, Vance Joy) and shot entirely on analogue film with the support of Kodak, an iconic industrial staple of the band’s hometown of Rochester in New York.
The video, a montage of cinematic vignettes, showcases the wry humour of the band as they “star” in various movie trailer spoofs ranging from westerns to heist to horror films. Shooting on film gave the video the visual depth and richness of feature films and is a favourite medium of Joywave, who themselves shoot on various Kodak film stocks.
Widely hailed for their inventive, high-energy live performances, Joywave have spent their summer building anticipation for the upcoming album with a series of intimate live performances,'The Possession Sessions', in the band’s hometown, Los Angeles and Brooklyn. The run concludes with an exclusive headline show at London’s The Lexington on November 20. Additional new tracks and companion visuals will be unveiled throughout the year, followed in 2020 by the eagerly awaited release of their as-yet-untitled third full-length album.
