Directing duo Waxxwork direct an atmospheric promo to herald the return of London Grammar - and the band's new drum & bass direction - which explores the internal states of a individuals at a houseparty, through an unusual device. The video for London Grammar's House takes place with the party at its height, and in dreamlike fashion, follows a house fly who moves from room to room, introducing us to the different partygoers.Counter-intuitively to what you might expect in this scenario the video is all about moments of reflection. There is a focus on calm, almost transcendent moments which creates a sense of mystery, interspersed with frantic POV shots to ramp up the energy intermittently. Waxxwork - Timothy Casten and Vikesh Govind - combine great use of cinematography and dizzying display of VFX work to establish this atmosphere, very much in the style they have established in their previous work. "We wanted to use the fly as a catalyst and vehicle for our characters to meditate on their place in the world, and the beauty of the present moment," say Waxxwork.
