Video: Veronica Falls “Found Love In A Graveyard”
April 1st, 2010
The digital age has made everyone a music video director. The new video by the Glaswegians known as Veronica Falls looks as though they’ve embraced the DIY approach to filmmaking, but oddly enough the short was directed by Nicks Abrahams, who’s grainy stroke has previously worked for Stereolab, Manic Street Preachers and even docs on Depeche Mode and Sigur Ros.
The worn, dated look suits the C86-worshipping sound of Veronica Falls. Opening with snow-filled shots and ethereal chants all signs point to the video descending into some sort of gothic paean. But then Abrahams flips everything upside down and the deadpan turns to hilarity as the band members go… sledding? The fun doesn’t last though, and Veronica Falls end up at their original destination: the grave of Karl Marx. Whoa, heavy…
