IDLES 'Gift Horse' by David Helman
Rob Ulitski - 17th Jan 2024
David Helman returns to music videos to direct a highly idiosyncratic and enjoyable promo for IDLES.
The video for Gift Horse takes place at big-box superstore, which hosts an increasingly eclectic cast of apathetic, transgressive individuals.
There's kissing in the aisles, balaclava-adorned kids doing a TikTok dance and newlyweds on a travellator, in an anxiety-inducing, maximalist vision that is impossible to tear your eyes away from.
Charmingly strange, anachronistic and over-the-top - what more could you want from an IDLES video?
