Under the Radar: When Saints Go Machine
Denmark band When Saints Go Machine have been getting positive press for their latest album Konkylie. The brooding synths paired lead singer’s Nikolaj Manuel Vonsild’s haunting falsetto voice make for some great music to chill out to.
They’ve just released their third video, “Kelly”, a song about a girl’s first kiss. The video is simple, but so cute. It focuses on a young dancer who is clearly smitten with her very intense dance instructor.
I’ll admit, it made me feel a little uncomfortable watching it for the first time, just because I wasn’t sure how controversial the video would get. I mean, where is his hand going?!?!?
Thankfully, the video keeps it very innocent. Her flirting glances cut with her fantasy of performing a big routine with her instructor perfectly captures young puppy love.
I mean, haven’t we all been there? Young and naïve, crushing on someone way older and way out of our league. In my case, it was Ms. Hughes, my Grade 11 English teacher. She was hot.
