The video for the second cut from Montreal duo Chromeo’s third album Business Casual sees Dave 1 and P-Thugg (plus a whole host of companions) looking wide-eyed and snake-hipped amidst a whole load of out-on-stalks freakiness. Eyeballs in mouths? A pair of solitary, bodiless eyes floating around town, peering into bathrooms? Yep, it’s a far cry from the steamy visuals of last single ‘Night By Night’ and definitely one to make you squirm.
Video aside, ‘Don’t Turn The Lights On’ is Chromeo at their best – shiny, lust-driven pop that hides a deeper, darker side. There’s heartbreak written all over the gleaming synths and despair in our boys’ voices as they pine for a lost love. We can only hope the sound of them moving on is as lush as this.
