Say Hi Announces New Video For “Lookachu”

“I’ve made a music video for the song “Lookachu” and I hope you enjoy it. Depending on your tolerance for humor, you will either find it to be pure silliness (drivel) or an apt reinforcement of the themes the song attempts to address … namely, apocalyptic reckonings of humanity’s current obsession with extracting dopamine from technology.”

Kiwi Jr. release single + video “Gimme More”

Of the video the Toronto-based band say, “it was shot mostly at our favourite bar in Toronto – Black Dice Cafe. It’s a rockabilly bar and though Kiwi Jr is very unhip to that scene, we tried to pay it justice by wearing leather jackets. We’ve had probably every band meeting we’ve ever had at that bar, and the owner Hidecki was nice enough to let us shoot there as long as we didn’t break anything (which we did during load in before we even started shooting).” It was directed by Sean Foreman who states, “we wanted the video to feel like it was based off dream logic. Things don’t make sense, the band keeps popping up, rooms are oddly connected somehow, it’s nonsense but at the same time there seems to be some undercurrent of reason guiding things.”
