watch: “all of me” – tanlines
“All of Me,” is a track by indie duo Tanlines on their recently released album Mixed Emotions. The song is perfect for a Friday – upbeat, catchy, enough to get you to 5PM. So, I guess it brings a little bit of balance into the world that the video has a totally different vibe – drab, weird, confusing.
The video, directed by Julian Barratt of The Mighty Boosh, features a bunch of middle-aged folks sitting around a dimly lit room in business attire, until one man puts in a video of Tanlines playing. When the music starts, people begin to get up and dance to the song in the most awkward way possible. Seriously. It’s really awkward.
If you’re into it, you can also check out a behind the scenes video here. If not, you can just listen to the song below, or snag the mp3 (courtesy of True Panther).
