Report: Why The New Disclosure/Flume remix Video Gave Me Fripples

Already number one in my books for supplying the soundtrack to a life of awkward sexual experience, the new video for Flume’s stellar remix of Disclosure’s ‘You & Me’ has got me having inconvenient public fripples again (damn you flimsy tank-top fashions!).

In what can only be assumed as one helluva awkward filming session (‘look into her eyes, now look to the camera, now smooch, dammit, smooch!’), the video features two attractive youths tucking into each others faces.

Along with everything that creates a display of passion amongst the young and nose-peirced; the slow stroking of hair and neck, extensive lip chewing and all over heavy petting in front of a disconcertingly baby pink backdrop (CONFLICTING).

Also I regretted watching this on the bus with old people behind me when the video reached 3.22, where, despite the frame’s strictly above-torso view, someone’s clearly reached ‘ultimate fun’.

The androgyny of the two is also particularly striking. Sporting matching hairstyles and glowing white skin, it’s like watching hipsters in heat… and I loved it.

Musically, the track is exactly what you’d expect from the F-dog. Deviating heavily from Disclosure’s original track with pop singer Eliza Doolittle whilst still maintaining the core musical features of the track, Flume applies his trademark sound of drops, drum delays and layered vocal manipulation along with a consistent string riff similar to his remix of"> Onra – The Anthem. In keeping with dance values, the track manages to sustain seductiveness.

Compared to other video offerings from artists such as Lorde (although I think that the ">Tennis Courts video made my libido disappear into the abyss), it seems that minimalism is trending in the industry. Personally I think that it’s an example of what Gotye’s ‘Somebody I Used To Know’ video could have been if those two would just get along!

The video is another slice of the good stuff from Flume before the release of his Deluxe Edition set for release on November 8.
