alt-J: Video For 'In Cold Blood' (feat. Pusha T)
alt-J today debut the video for 'In Cold Blood' (feat. Pusha T) (Twin Shadow Version). Starring King Push himself in IRL and digital form, and directed by Osean, the clip takes the viewer into the hazy digital world of 'REDUXER', a project first hinted at last month when Pusha T and LA synth pop polymath Twin Shadow both joined alt-J for a surprise performance of 'In Cold Blood' on 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert', before swiftly releasing the studio version of the collaboration.
"Pusha and alt-J have two completely different styles and coloring them together makes for an interesting sound," explains the director Osean.
"Instead of representing the 2 more so as a person to person, I decided to represent them as more person to experience, or person to land. The way Pusha is acting in the video is the same way I feel he acted in the song. He flows through the song as his experience in someone else's world trying to find his place. And so in the video during the alt-J part, I wanted Pusha to basically experience alt-J the experience." -
