In the beginning, all relationships are based on attraction
and a storyline of the heart. And love beats the same for
everyone when you are lucky enough to get it right.
New act Video Video relies on the well-known narrative of
melodic vocal pop songs that were first written in their
relative acts The Blow Waves and The Mavis's.
The rebirth here was formed when The Blow Waves' core couple
Matt Doll Thomas and Byron St John started a duo playing
alongside Matthew Sigley to form a smaller lineup that became
titled Video Video.
Planet of Storms their debut album is about how the heart can
survive the weather of a lifetime of love songs and past
relationships.
Video Video write to old flames and those lovers they have
left behind on their journey, as a way of keeping them in the
story - and warning their audience that they are not
forgotten.
Second single "Flames" is written from the point of view of a
reliable Romeo standing underneath your window - alongside
fellow space-age love songs, they look to the skies to ask the
stars for alignment. Though the action here takes place where
city lights blur constellations - when strangers meet in the
night - and during the times when it sometimes is not right.
Planet of Storms asks us to remember our midsummer night's
dream without regret, and makes a brotherly promise to protect
each other in a lifeline against suicide in "Not Gonna Die".
Here in Planet of Storms the brokenhearted will learn to swim
in their own sea of tearsùand survival of the species is
simply a game of rewinding a well-loved movie.
Video Video replays the romance offering those same tasty
kisses of lyric phrases, from Matt Doll Thomas, to help us
make peace with the past.
Song "Genesis" writes the new chapter that grew from survivor
stories of a shipwreck left after the storm. "ÆGenesis" is the
bittersweet feeling of loss and renaissance mixed together. It
is about noticing the beauty in the darkness," said lyricist
Matt Doll Thomas.
As dream believers of magic and romance Video Video use 1980s
electro dance to style their own moustache club pop. Uniquely
island Australian, with the energy of teen millennium Video
Video's Planet of Storms is an easy listening indy-pop
release.
