LA Priest 'It's You' by Eoin Glaister

David Knight - 17th Mar 2023

A woman falls in love with the Fatberg - yes, you heard right - in Eoin Glaister's marvellously entertaining return to music videos for Sam Dust, aka LA Priest.

It's a tale both charming and ludicrous - in other words, classic Eoin Glaister territory - as a house cleaner (played by comedy actor Juliet Cowen) peers into a street drain on her way home from a hard day's work, and sees an amorphous blob of grease and fat - who looks back at her. And they fall head-over-heels for one another...

What follows is a both lovely and a little bit disgusting, as Cowen ventures into the sewer system to properly meet the Fatberg, and we follow the inevitable steps of the relationship - the wooing, the (ahem) physical relationship, the arguments, the peace offerings of wet wipes and non-biodegradable products down the loo. And like all stories of star-cross'd lovers, it's not going to end well - but even then, love prevails. Kind of...

It's Eoin Glaister's second video for Sam Dust, formerly of Late of the Pier, as LA Priest, and was shot in London over two days on 16mm. 

“The first video I made with LA Priest involved letting an untrained pack of dogs lick liver paste out of his ears, so I
was somewhat surprised to get a call regarding It’s You - but needless to say l leapt," he says. “The track is about someone falling in love with a mermaid, but the time of year meant I kept running into safety issues with any water-based ideas. A fatberg provided an altogether greasier route.

"A few Mighty Boosh references later and we were away. Eternally grateful to the fabulous crew who went above and beyond to bring this to life on Valentine’s Day and to our stars, veteran genius Juliet Cowan, and Vanessa Del Bosco whose zen-like patience made the project possible. Watch out for a fabulous Flusher cameo from LA Priest.”
