Elder Island – “You + I”

A playful satire of home shopping for electronic trio Elder Island by UK-based director Nic Kane (previously featured here). Set in a surreal retro-future, “You + I” features a line of homeware products akin to vintage HiFi sets from the 1960s that were actually created by the band to accompany the release of their forthcoming album, The Omnitone Collection.

“Each piece of ambiguous electronic hardware corresponds to a particular song, the purpose and design of which is influenced by its counterpart track. The presiding object of this video is the UI-450, a virtual reality headset with the strapline, ‘Transcend your primary consciousness with this pioneering HMD’.”
