A series of windows invites the viewer into the private lives of imagined city dwellers in this poignant video premiere from Tahiti Boy and the Palmtree Family. Co-directed by French filmmaker Arnaud Delord and photographer Vincent Ferrané, the piece takes the intriguing, moonlit skyline as the backdrop to “The Park”, a single from the Parisian act’s new Fireman EP and the first release from the seven-strong troupe since their 2008 debut album, Good Children Go To Heaven. “We wanted to plunge the spectator into an ambiance that was at once nocturnal, urban and melancholic,” explain Delord and Ferrané, who chose a palette of muted blues and pinks for the sets. The framed vignettes exposing the characters' hidden lives were shot in the studio and spliced with composite photographs of urban scenes and building facades—influenced by the atmospheric cityscapes of 1980s Brian de Palma films—using 3D software. As Tahiti Boy frontman David Sztanke’s romantic vocals form a warming melody with oscillating synths, heartfelt strings and shuffling drums, the camera floats from apartment to apartment to reveal a series of subtly unexpected characters. “The protagonists are alone in their homes, somewhere between a dream state and a habitual one, occupied by the ‘little nothings’ that make up everyday life,” say the directors. As the song enters its final chorus, a fireworks display explodes outside, bringing residents together for the spectacle.
