Passion Pit offers another different variation on typical Valentine's Day romance and takes on messy and dramatic relationships with their latest visuals for their new glimmery pop cut, "Carried Away," taken from American indie pop band's sophomore studio album, "Gossamer." Passion Pit are still milking the single potential of "Gossamer," with good reason that record is full of jams. The video is a fantastical depiction of a troubled relationship in fast-forward.
Sure, the beat and vocals make it sound like a happy-go-lucky song but once we witness the break-up fights, the awkward dinner party, and the scenes of their loving past, that all goes downhill. The clip, directed by the sibling-duo Brewer brothers (Purity Ring, Alt-J), goes through the life of a relationship. Brewer certainly does that but only after sucking you into a dysfunctional and surreal, yet strangely real love/hate relationship. To say this relationship is disfunctional is an understatement, but it plays out in increasingly fantastical ways.
"The music video was shot in Los Angeles and tells the story of a love/hate relationship through a playful Godard-inspired narrative that follows the couple throughout their home," explains Brewer. It's a swirling, chaotic portrayal of a relationship - a real one with fights and all. The clip stars Passion Pit frontman Michael Angelakos and the "One Tree Hill" actress Sophia Bush as a couple in a desperate attempt at reviving their almost-dead relationship. The pair once cared about each other, but now find their relationship on the verge of falling apart.
The clip showcases they live together in an adorable house, filled with charming tchotchkes and a failed cat adoption, but as the couple with some interesting abilities who can't stop arguing and playing pranks on each other and their relationship begins to crash and burn, the house literally turns on them as Bush turns her back to Angelakos, their bed splits apart, sending Angelakos into a 'symbolic' pit of breakup hellfire. It's a lighthearted look at the ups and downs of love. So open up that box of chocolates and watch the clip below.
