Words: Sam Geary
White Lies are kicking off a busy year with their first offering being new track 'Tokyo', which comes with a video film accompaniment.
Directed by long-time visual collaborator David Pablos, the clip was shot back to back with the band's previously released 'Believe It' video in Tijuana, Mexico at the tail-end of last year.
The synth-laden 'Tokyo' is taken from their incoming album, 'Five', out on February 1 through Play It Again Sam.
“As soon as I heard the song I knew I wanted to shoot the video during night time," says Pablos. "Everything starts with us seeing scenes of life through windows from the outside, but once we go inside we discover nothing is exactly what it looks like or what it appears to be. Each window is a metaphor; more than a real space it is a representation of a mental state. But more than portraying the city, what was important was the human face and to capture the personalities of each one of the characters."
