Two Door Cinema Club have shared their new video for Once, taken from their critically acclaimed and third UK top 5 album, ‘False Alarm’. The video arrives ahead of their return to Australia this November, headlining Grapevine Gathering and also playing a run of their own shows. Dates and details below.
The video for Once sees the Bangor trio cast as deadpan ventriloquists, competing for the limelight with ostentatious dummy versions of themselves, all in a satirical and hedonistic 70s showbiz setting.
Once music video directors Mathy & Fran said: “It was huge fun making this video! Knowing that the song was about narcissism in the Instagram age, we hit upon the idea of Ventriloquist dummies, which felt strangely relevant to the way we all act on social media – creating personas who speak for us, and live the lives we wish we had.
It was really enjoyable to imagine a world where Alex, Sam and Kevin are completely sidelined in favour of their celebrity dummies, and we had no idea they’d be such good puppeteers…until of course, they get to enact their revenge!”
