videoFoals '2am' by Tanu Muino Foals frontman Yannis Philippakis is trapped in a choreographed cycle of hedonism, in Tanu Muino's brilliant promo for 2am. In the video, Philippakis is locked in a game of cat and mouse with a mysterious woman, who he follows through a maze of whimsical studio environments, intermittently finding himself in the middle of eccentric, Gondry-esque set pieces. Exploding with vibrant set design, avant-garde styling and wonderfully bizarre choreography, the video is a rollercoaster of emotions played out on a massive scale.It's another triumph for Muino, showing that the director who provided exploded onto the scene last year with videos for Lil Nas X, Cardi B and Post Malone - leading to her winning Best Director at the UKMVAs last year, is alo tremendously versatile.
