Friendly Fires: Skeleton Boy Video

The new Friendly Fires tune “Skeleton Boy” is one that’s upbeat enough to be on repeat for the next week (it’s already on its fourth playback in the duration of the writing of this post). But the real beauty is in the simple, visually arresting video directed by Clemens Habicht. The three band members were outfitted in black suits covered with double-sided sticky tape that caught bean bag balls to form the outline of skeletons on their bodies. If it sounds complicated, it’s actually a wonderful way to highlight the singers’ movements"”so much so that your furniture could become a casualty as you dance along.
