We started filming in May for the beautiful, the elegant, the magnificent, the soon to be huge Kill Krinkle Club. The single is called Moon and was produced by Declan Gaffney who has worked with some other really small, indie as hell band called U2. The video went through many ideas in a very long day in May. We went through many, many ideas lot’s of which didn’t make this video. Technically we went through about three shoots in this video.
I was only present on two. Justin and Elina went out in Dublin and took hundreds of photographs which made up the beach scene and the scene where Justin is bombarded by lots of kids or “corner boys” as my father would have said. The other photos of Elina and Justin in the jogging gear where taken by the ever sexual Shannon McClean. Shannon has taken lot’s of pictures for Pitchfork and regularly has his work showcased at the All Tomorrows Parties Festivals. Surely he is the photographer with the most indie-cred in Belfast. I guess that depends if you like Davey Berman, Marky Kozelek etc. Stephen Malkmus asked him to be his tour photographer and Shannon didn’t even respond. Or was it the other way round? So get your cheque book out and get him to take your picture.
In conclusion. We hope you like this video. It is a hectic collage of a billion ideas.
