Duo Jack Ü consist of Diplo and Skrillex. Their self-titled album came out a year ago almost on the dot. To mark the milestone, the duo have released a music video for “Mind”, which features Canadian singer songwriter, Kai, and recaps the duo’s past year or so.
The song is subdued and moody, with backing vocals appearing to be shouted through a loudspeaker with a touch of reverb. Then kicking in is some electric drum kit. Not the most upbeat thing you would hear in a nightclub, but it has its own kind of intensity. There are climaxes, but not the kind you may associate with the genre.
The Liam Underwood directed video is an expansive, global affair. It is awash with beautiful landscapes and rickety villages, the latter as seemingly old as the hills seen in some of the footage. This is mixed with live clips of the duo all around the world.
#Peace.Love.JackÜ
