Premiere: Hope And Social – ‘The View From Above’

DIY Leeds unit unveil their phantasmagoric new video...

Deeply independent Leeds types Hope And Social tend to do it themselves.

Off kilter indie rock you can dance to – think Talking Heads, or Clap Your Hands Say Yeah – the band's new album 'Feel' has been getting some serious 6Music love.

Little wonder, though; it's blessed with imagination, and the sort of hooks what come back to you at odd moments of the working day.

To coincide, Hope And Social have commissioned nine new videos directed by nine directors. Clash is able to premiere 'The View From Above', and it's just a little bit special…

A phantasmagoric new clip, it features a neon animated kitty riding in an origami swan whilst collecting ‘sonic’ gold coins. Yes, really.
