Woodhands, 'Dissembler' - Video Premiere

Toronto electro duo Woodhands may be known as party starters -- their live shows are renowned for their tendency to become sweaty dance jams -- but they also have a softer side. Their newest video, for sweet boy-girl track 'Dissembler,' is ample proof that there are plenty of tears to go with the blood and sweat they pour into their music.

The video finds drummer Paul Banwatt and singer/keyboardist Dan Werb -- enmeshed in a love triangle with guest vocalist Maylee Todd. The scenes unfold as a disorienting series of still images mimicking the miscommunication between the pair.

"The split screen work in the video mirrors the way that people's perceptions of a situation can be so different. You can think that she's giving you all the signals... but so can your friend," Werb says. "Maybe you're both right or both wrong -- and that's captured so artfully. The song's so personal watching the video gets me every time."

The video was directed by Jose Laurenco, whose idea was to disassemble the visuals to create a narrative that complements the song's lyrics.

"Watching the video, you really get the sense of something being taken apart," Werb explains. "[It's] almost like each photo is 'Exhibit A' in a courtroom drama that's investigating what really happened that night."
