Mixing dreary aesthetic with drab infrastructure and risque fun-loving, Scott Coffey has put together quite an interesting conceptual music video for Handsome Furs, “What About Us.” Teething with cinematic artistry the visually alluring video features a cast of intimate promiscuity and dance.
In an interview with Stereogum, Coffey explained the conceptual elements he portrayed in the video which best emulated the emotions he felt drove Handsome Furs lasted album, Sound Kapital, which he also helped devise the cover art for.
I think the record is dripping in empathy and questioning freedom and feeling, said Coffey.
We’re a nation of prudes conversely wallowing in pornography. I wanted to make the diametric opposite of porn. What is that? Intimacy…Real feeling. We live in a world where that seems transgressive now, added Coffey.
