Oracle Sisters 'Blue Left Hand' by Jim Longden
Rob Ulitski - 20th Jan 2025
Jim Longden reunites with French indie outfit Oracle Sisters for another hugely entertaining promo.
Following their collaboration on the UKMVA-nominated Alouette visual, the video for Blue Left Hand is another wacky and playful deconstruction of the world of filmmaking, but here set in a studio, where Longden and the band can expand on some of these ideas, with a bigger cast of characters.
Inspired by the book Caliban and the Witch, the lyrics weave together a tapestry of history, philosophy and cultural critique, and the video taps into these themes to great effect.
Toeing the line between arthouse aesthetics and something more haunting and unusual, the video is a lot of fun, and entirely shot on film, giving it a lovely nostalgic vibe.
“Making a music video can sometimes be as torturous as trying to make Brando happy while he spits in your coffee," muses Jim Longden. "But when the music, the crew and the artist are great, and they make it a priority to shoot on film, the spit can end up looking a little like milk froth.”
