Single or hooked, this video will make anyone lus for a snuggle.
Cape Town hailing four-piece, Arc The Forest, take a synth-heavy electro-pop jam and tone it down ten-fold with their signature ambience. The result is a cruising, sultry omnipresence which sets the tone a little too well.
Narrative lyricism plays out the video to a tee. Rooftop, sunset joints and jaunts which manifest into late evening meanders through Cape Town streets, a pit stop at McDonalds, a kiss in the forest. And let me add that the sexual chemistry is palpable as fuck.
It’s a beautifully candid, gentle, yet simultaneously sultry exhibition of queer relationships. It’s a “queer bop” – according to the band – and it might make you dance, or cry, or sing – or all of them.
Like their debut EP To Fall Again, this video is going to take you places just as much as the song will.
Beneath the shadow of the Mother City’s unmistakable mountains, two boys wander hand in hand, flower in their hair, stars in their eyes.
It’s gonna make you swoon. Enjoy.
