NZ via the UK denim-loving aficionados Cut Off Your Hands have a new
video for their flagship song 'Expectations'. Their third for the song.
The previous incarnations saw them first
lost in a sea of orange ballloons and secondly,
floating around in a
'Take Me Out' style cut and paste After Affects job. This last - and officially crowned first single from their forthcoming album
You & I - is firmly from the 'ADD hand-held camera hey we're rocking a basement party with silver confetti raining from the roof I'm going to spew all over my camera bag if this keeps up'. With a little bit of added feeling at the end.
The track itself comes firmly from the post-Bloc Party 'I'm not sure of myself' tense nu-indie school of lyric. It's a strong chorus. They must be bummed that it sounds an awful lot like their former tour mates Black Kids' hit
'I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You'. Especially now that it's an old song. At least they have the video evidence to prove it.
