Grian Chatten, lead vocalist of Fontaines D.C., has shared a music video for “Bob’s Casino,” the newest single from his solo album Chaos For The Fly. Named after the battered and bruised amusement park which occupies the north-of-Dublin seafront where Grian’s solo album was first conceived, “Bob’s Casino” sets Grian’s enigmatic lyricism to ghostly echoes of brass and swing. Swooning backing vocals – courtesy of Grian’s fiancée, Georgie Jesson – elevate the composition with a shimmer of hazy nostalgia.

Director Ella Schlesinger says of the video: “In the near reality, surreal world of “Bob’s Casino” music video, we watch the hopelessly romantic quest of a man trying to find his love whilst being pursued by a BMW car, echoing the fable-like, romantic gesture I feel this song embodies. This video intends to feel playful with a strong feeling of longing as he is both being chased and chasing something. The man’s 3-meter-long arms and bulbous head hope to expand this idea of a dejected man whose appearance mirrors his limitations in getting to his love.”

“As the video unfolds, we watch the man gain momentum as he tries to escape the car, running faster and ripping off his large extended arms as he goes. As we get to the end of the video, we see the man has made it to daylight and has both lost the car and got to the land’s edge – the sea – his love.”
