BOY Premieres New Music Video For “Oh Boy”
After a stripped-down, North American tour in March, the ladies of BOY—Valeska Steiner and Sonja Glass—return from Hamburg on October 1, and this time they are bringing the full band along for the ride. In anticipation of the tour, BOY has unveiled an official video for the track “Oh Boy,”.
Exploring BOY’s avante-garde side, the video takes the viewer on a non-linear journey full of abstract imagery, and even some synchronized dance routines. Director Rafael Palacio Illingworth explains the idea behind “Oh Boy.” “The concept was built around the work of Mexican photographers Lola and Manuel Álvarez Bravo…high contrast black and white images that hint on the surreality of elements,” says Illingworth. “The idea was to create a collection of images that would then be edited in a fast paced, contemporary style to create a modern video with a classic feel. A sort of ‘surreal pop.’ I thought this would marry perfectly with the quiet modernity of the music of BOY.”
