Victoria+Jean “Holly” Video Premieres On Noisey
“Creepy cloth masks, a conjured quasi-Jesus, taxidermied animals that aren’t quite as dead as they appear to be… Swedish-Belgian duo Victoria+Jean go all out weird in their video for ‘Holly.'” – Noisey
Directed by Spike and Jones aka Paul Normann and Sebastien Alouf, “Holly” is shot with a 16mm negative camera with more than 600 meters of old fashioned film. Spike and Jones started as behind the scene cameraman for the Coppola family.
It delivers un antique aspect, of true rawness, to keep it’s richness, of whatever that used to exist. Like a certain documentary, like a witness of an era focused on a particular subject, but not in this case, in this case Spike and Jones got through with it in perfect and wonderful way. The song, which Noisey describes as like PJ Harvey reworking the “Atlas” by Battles,” Holly, takes on all its meaning.
