Sports Team 'I'm In Love (Subaru)' by Dora Paphides
Rob Ulitski - 22nd July 2024
Sports Team return with a video directed by Dora Paphides made in the spirit of pop promos from the 1970s and '80s.
The single I'm In Love (Subaru) marks a change in a musical direction for the erstwhile indie-rock outfit to an 80s-tinged pop-soul sound - replete with Spandau Ballet-style saxophone. The studio-set video duly pays homage to the period, with vocalist Alex Rice centre-stage amid his ST bandmates and a crucial prop - an era-appropriate Subaru car.  Â
The video plays with light and shadow to recreate the look of videos of the times, whilst elevating certain aspects to modern day standards.
"Working closely with the band, and [DoP] Tasha Duursma, we looked at a lot of Roxy Music vids and Spandau Ballet," reveals Paphides. "We wanted to make a homage to music videos of this era - from artists who may have been inspired by the Blitz club - but with some punchier, editorial, contemporary details.
"It needed to be part-editorial, part-music promo. [And] it was essential for us to shoot this with the types of grip/rigs that would’ve existed at the time for a real sense of authenticity."
