Housse de Racket Expore 'Sci-Fi Romance' in 'Chateau'-- Video Premiere

Mattia Zoppellaro

Parisian electro outfit Housse de Racket (English translation: "tennis racket cover") have come up with quite a head-scratcher of a video for their song 'Chateau.' It begins with a man staring into the mirror only to see the reflection of a gargoyle-ish figure the band refers to as "the chrome wingman." From there, the video moves on, no questions asked, accepting the reflection of the chrome wingman as a simple given.

The rest of the video reveals a struggling, cramped relationship, which seems reasonable if your significant other sees himself as a metal gargoyle with wings coming out of his face. The video shows fitting fascination for geometry, as the band deals in the same angular music as fellow countrymen Phoenix.

"This video is basically an extension of the artwork of 'Alesia,' our second record," the band tells Spinner. "We built our very own mythology on the face of the chrome wing man. But the heart of this video is more a deep hypnotic love story than anything else. A sci-fi romance in a dreamy Paris. So very human eventually.

"It was directed by Sanghon Kim, a brillant artist, who worked with such talented artists as Air. The film was produced by Irene (Metronomy, Two Door Cinema Club) in collaboration with Machine Molle (for the SFX) responsible of the best videos of Justice, Kasabian and M83."

'Alesia' is available now via Kitsune/Cooperative/Downtown Records and the band will tour the U.S. this December with Yelle. Get the dates here and check out 'Chateau' below.

There is a saying like this "Only one himself knows if the shoes match his feet or not “。If u really love her /him, age ain't nothing but a number for these loved-up A-Listers. My BF and I both think so! He is almost 10 years older than I .We met via~~--Ａgeｌｅｓｓ'date . ℃○M .~~ a nice place for younger women and oldermen, or older women and younger men, to interact with each other! ,Ever feel that you would best enjoy someone who is not in your age group? If u are really interested in it, maybe u wanna check it out or tell your friends.
