The Music Videos of Metronomy's 'Love Letters'

One of my favorite albums from 2014. Metronomy's 'Love Letters' is not only a great album full of great songs, but also a great album with great music videos.

Here are the music videos from 'Love Letters'.

"The Upsetter" - dir. David Rabinovitch

  

My favorite music video from 'Love Letters'. 'The Upsetter' plays like a short story about a feral person, marooned in the forest who constructs a companion from nature. The video suits the longing and loneliness of the song and the Miyazaki homages are amazing. The director provides some interesting insights into the making of the video (which can be seen here.)

"I'm Aquarius" - dir. Edouard Salier

The video for 'I'm Aquarius' is a throwback to Retrofutura of the 60's and it fits the vintage sound of the track. Salier tried to create the video using traditional, non-digital means and there is a nice making of video courtesy of The Creator's Project (which can be seen here.) I like the lyrics of the song because they're very cheeky, which is something Metronomy is known for. 

"Month of Sundays" - dir. Callum Cooper

Playing out like a live-action M.C. Escher drawing, 'Month of Sundays' is a kaleidoscopic visual masterpiece. It's my second favorite video for 'Love Letters' and it's a great song. Callum Cooper is a brilliant visual artist and his other work is worth taking a look at.

"Reservoir" - dir. Daniel Brereton

 Following in the retro style of the album and other videos, 'Reservoir' is a fun video that slips into a Yellow Submarine-esque, psycheledelic trip. Requiring seven animators and I'm sure a lot of time, the video more or less fits the song well. Brereton has worked with the band in its former incarnation on two other videos (which can be seen here and here.)

"Love Letters" - dir. Michel Gondry

Directed by one of my all-time favorite directors Michel Gondry. 'Love Letters' is the title track off the album and the video is like that of the 60's or early-70's. It almost reminds me of something from a Krofft Brothers production or a kid themed Variety Show. Although, it's not my favorite song off the album, the video is definitely note worthy. Even if it's just because of who directed it.
