Running In My Head

One of our favourite songs of the year now has a video. The lusciously epic ‘Black Cloud’ by Mozart Parties has dominated my playlist ever since Sarah posted the song back in July. The video, directed by Rob Heppell, Bea Wilson and Ben Adams begins in the forest before moving in to James Bennett’s home recording studio. The video then cuts between the two locations. Bennett grew up in the British Lake District, so it’s likely the video represents his love of the area – wandering over mossy rocks, fallen trees and a carpet of damp leaves in an old fossil burial ground. If you haven’t yet heard the song then you’re in for a treat – a heavy bass riff underlies a chiming chorus of ringing guitars, perfectly timed symbols and an amazing lyrical passage. The video premiered today over on The Fader, along with an interview with Mozart Parties’ James Bennett.

A couple of our other favourite songs of 2011 now also have moving pictures. Check out Neon Indian’s ‘Polish Girl’ and Bleached’s video for ‘Think Of You’.
