Lo fi pop duo Let’s Eat Grandma have shared a video for their single, “Sax in the City”.
One of the standout tracks from their debut album “I, Gemini”, “Sax in the City” documents a dystopian nightmare as people are rendered robot slaves by smartphones and tablets.
Director Ben Sommers, who also filmed the band’s recent “Eat Shiitake Mushrooms” video, says the following: “We intended to keep the video quite lighthearted and playful, with Jenny and Rosa as babies crawling through the busy city landscape – we also wanted to make a subtle comment on social and political issues – the outcome a slight nod to Orwell’s 1984 and how true his novel is seemingly becoming. The baby aspect adds something quite bizarre to the video, I think it echoes the eclectic and psychedelic nature of Let’s Eat Grandma’s sound – but also gestures something worryingly poignant in respect to the world that future generations are growing up in.”
Band members Rosa Walton and Jenny Hollingworth add: “Just us at our favourite place, wearing our favourite colour, doing what we do best – this is the most real video of Let’s Eat Grandma yet. PS Look out for the rat.”
