Andy Goddard directs an absorbing visual for Gustaffson, the band founded by actor/musician Andrew Gower and guitarist James Webster, in Wilton's Music Hall in East London, as Gower's place as frontman is assumed by his wild-eyed alter-ego. The video for On Broadway offers a vignette into the life of tortured artist ‘Wilton’ longing for his next performance on a stage. That moment arrives when he discovers Gustaffson on stage performing the song.With excellent execution, including fine cinematography by Henry Gill, the concept allows Andrew Gower, to bridge the gap of his two loves: music and film. With great performances across the board and an enigmatic, arresting central idea, the video embodies the dreamlike vibe of the track - a romantic ode to New York - without ever leaving the atmospheric Wilton's.
