Following the release of
their brand new single
You
Know I Knowfeaturing Sophie Burbery,
Hopetoun Brown have
today shared the official music video available to
watch here.
Directed and animated by none other than the magical Finn Scholes, Hopetoun
fans will be familiar with Finn’s fiery trumpet skills and incandescent piano
playing, but they may be unaware of his talents as an accomplished visual
artist and animator.
Finn’s experimental five-piece Carnivorous Plant Society often have Finn’s
animations projected behind the band as they play, but now Hopetoun
Brown has commissioned the creature of Ponsonby to draw their entire
video, complete with all manner of surreal couples
doin’ it in full colour!Recorded with Jol
Mulholland from Mt Eden studio The Oven, the speedy rap duet
features neighbourhood synth scientist and MC Sophie Burbery,
Weird Together percussionist/bongo player Issac
Chadderton, and alto sax player Callum Passells.
