Circular Keys’ new video for ‘Possessed’ is quite beautiful. I’ve recently loaded up my stuff in storage and I remember thinking how creepy it was walking down the isles of symmetrical doors. That shot is contrasted with strong characters, dreamy night scenes, a Shining-like hotel and cool live performances to make this video really successful. Especially compared to so many bad videos made this year – have you seen that flop by Battleships… yeesh. I caught Circular Keys playing live earlier this year and sadly, I remember thinking it was a bloody terrible show. ‘Possessed’ doesn’t sound like their live performance that night. This is how I imagined they could sound and together with a video which has been expertly illustrated by the creative direction of Anna Snoekstra has allowed the Circular Keys sound come to life.

Very nice chilled textures, vox floats beautifully above them. Like the vid, suits the track
