Andy Banjanin directs a stylish one-take promo for The Vaccines.The video for Heartbreak Kid is captured through a continually rotating camera in the centre of a vintage house, where the band perform, eat and relax. Balancing mundane acts with a heightened, polished aesthetic, the video feels candid yet strangely surreal, as if we as viewers aren't supposed to see what the band get up to behind closed doors. The retro style and filmic grade add a sentimental feel to the video, which encapsulates the euphoric sound and promises big things from the new album in January.
