Steve Lacy ft Fousheé 'Sunshine' by rubberband.

Promonews - 18th July 2022

Directing duo rubberband. follow up the brooding terror of their video for Mercury with something more upbeat and suitably sun-drenched for their second Steve Lacy video - again with a surreal twist.

Lacy performs in an empty industrial space alongside his band, as guest vocalist Fousheé is suspended against a bright blue sky. Once Lacy joins his companion against the bright backdrop, the film takes on a hazy dream-like mode  - it is this move toward surrealism that ties in with Lacy’s established visual language.

As with Mercury, rubberband. worked with award-winning cinematographer Evan Prosofsky, and shot the video on 35mm. 

“We wanted to do something dead simple and completely free," say the directors. "We said, put them on the tallest crane we can find, and don’t remove anything. Show everything. The artifice in full. That was literally our pitch. The whole pathos of the album for us visually was the idea that: Safety is an Illusion, both in life and in love. We feel like this was a dead simple, evocative way to show that.”
