Say Lou Lou Go for the Gold in Everything We Touch Video
Australian-Swedish duo Say Lou Lou  otherwise known as Elektra and Miranda Kilbey, twin daughters of The Church's Steve Kilbey  emerged two years ago with an already fully-formed concept twins! In a band! That even almost sounds like "Under the Milky Way!". They already had plenty of peers  twins-in-a-band Tegan and Sara, particularly on last year's Heartthrob, or fellow Swedish-Australian newcomers Kate Boy  and an impressively defined signature sound sparkly synthpop, nocturnal and 80s and lightly sugary. It's music for nights full of stars. Their latest single, "Everything We Touch," has gotten a fair bit of traction  it's been remixed by Yannis of Foals, among others  and now it's gotten a video, too. The other thing about "Everything We Touch" is that it's got a doozy of a lyrics sheet  everything they touch turns to a high-fantasy word cloud of ashes and dragons and ghosts and flames  and if you were shooting a straight video of that, about thirty seconds in you'd realize you'd probably be better off submitting a script to Game of Thrones. It makes sense, then, that the video is more abstract gold jackets, gold wash of glitter across the heavily lit sky, tasteful yearning and, since it had to be mentioned, tasteful nudity and more than enough atmosphere to match the sound.
