videoModerat 'Easy Prey' by Cyprien Clément-DelmasCyprien Clément-Delmas directs a thought-provoking promo for Moderat. Consisting of artists Sascha Ring (Apparat) and Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary (Modeselektor), the track contemplates the relationship between love and independence, lamenting how vulnerable we become when the balance between the two tips too far forward towards the former.The video for Easy Prey was shot across two days in Barcelona, and explores our heavy reliance on technology and its consequential fragilities and interconnectedness. The abstract narrative vignettes create a palpable energy, which bubbles with mystery and intrigue, whilst developing the aforementioned themes in a fresh and exciting way. “The idea of the music video is to talk about our dependence on technology, the vulnerability of our ultra-connected societies," says Clément-Delmas. "We think we are stronger today but we are somehow weaker. Most of the essentials are now based on technology. "This main character represents the essential workers that make all this happen but are also fed up with society, with what we are expected to be. This is a sort of close dystopia I wanted to create in this film. I think this scenario is not too far away and we might experience something similar sooner or later.”Strikingly executed, with a darkly futuristic vibe and tonnes of atmosphere.
