Tom Furse directs a thought-provoking promo for Hot Chip frontman Alexis Taylor's latest solo project. The video for I Can Feel Your Love has a distinctive animated aesthetic, AI-led with handmade textures, and follows the artist and his love for the extinct Tasmanian Tiger. Opening with three slides of text giving background to the animal and its tragic demise, the video launches into an epic journey of freedom and surrender, captured in a road-trip style structure. “The Thylacine (or Tasmanian Tiger) is an animal I have always loved and been fascinated by," Alexis Taylor explains. "The cruel hunting of the species by humans to the point of extinction is one of the saddest details surrounding the animal."I wanted to talk about a connection that is beyond words and language. So I suggested to Tom that the connection could be shown between this animal, that we in fact cannot directly communicate with, and a human. It’s a love story about connection and something sublime, or beyond ourselves.”
