Loco’s Dan Coster and Jon Davey gave some of Loco Lurve to the The Amourists’ debut music video as they recently completed the online edit for “Rebound Man”. Tom Balkwill of Loco's in-house Baselight suite "Dirty Looks" provided a gorgeous colour grade for the promo, balancing the colour spaces from the different camera shoots and giving an overall “look” to the piece. The images shot in studio feel as if they pop from the screen as the grade brings out the sumptuous reds of the singer’s lips, her fingernails, and the decadent rose petals. The location scenes appear enchanted with a hint of nostalgia and beautiful grittiness.

Co-directors Nicole Nodland and Johnny Blueeyes worked with DOP Charlie Herranz to shoot the video on the Canon 5D over a long Bank Holiday weekend in a number of locations – East London's Studio Private, the streets of West London and the band's local The Retro Pub (where you will find at least one Amourist on any day of the week).
The directing duo has well-established careers in photography and styling for musicians, fashion and advertising. Their music video for The Amourists exudes glamour and confidence, and Loco and Dirty Looks were happy to lend their technical expertise and creative talents to the project. The promo takes inspiration from a range of retro and avant-garde styles – early Madonna, Adam and the Ants, 1960's London, as well as a hint of the directors’ infatuations with The Smiths. Singer Nato Stark added her own sassy touch. She observed the bouquets of flower blossoms falling apart en route to the shoot which sparked the idea to pose with an eruption of rose petals flowing from her mouth.
The Amourists are currently putting the finishing touches on their first LP, 'Clear Recent History' and you can find out more by visiting their website or Facebook page.
