Eclectically Challenged

A mixture of an insane amount of commitments and annoyingly unreliable internet issues has resulted in me being MIA for longer than intended but I am now here to rectify the situation. As such, I’m dedicating this post to Friends Electric a band I’ve shown a lot of love to since I started writing this blog and whose music is starting to become as synonymous with Made In Chelsea (yes I do watch it – don’t judge me for this!) as The Wombats was with The Inbetweeners. Their new single Puzzle Pieces was released this week and, therefore, presents the perfect opportunity to share with you the rather striking video for it. Directed by Cyrus Mirza & Nic Booth (Los Campesinos) it’s “the story of Keith – A clone who spends his time rejuvenating dead hearts as to copy himself time & again in search of a perfect partner” (Mirza). I think it’s actually quite important to understand that context because when you couple it with the lyrics of the song ‘I will steal the air out of your lungs so I can breathe’ you’re presented with something that is surprisingly dark considering the overwhelmingly catchy nature of their music. The quality also says a lot for their progress; it is certainly the most polished of all their videos so far.
