Alvvays have released a new video for ‘Dreams Tonite’.
A highlight from the band’s recent album ‘Antisocialites’, it features the band doing a spot of time travelling…
The clip’s director Matt Johnson says: “The first thing I thought when Alvvays played ‘Dreams Tonite’ for me in their studio (which is packed wall to wall with gear built before they were born) was that this music is from another time. It sounds like a rediscovered classic that was way ahead of its time, so the video had to be about time travel.
“I got addicted to 60s film aesthetics making my last movie and this was the perfect excuse to revisit that world. The footage shot by the National Film Board during Expo67 is an unknown masterpiece of Canadian cinema – of course we had to hide Alvvays in it. By using the same cameras and film as the Nfb in ’67 we found a way to put Molly and company on stage at the biggest festival our country has ever seen. See if you can find them all!”
