Videos : Atoms For Peace : Ingenue

The "supergroup" Atoms For Peace released their music video for their song "Ingenue" off of their debut album AMOK. The band consists of Thom York (Radiohead), Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Joey Waronker (Beck, R.E.M.), Nigel Godrich (Radiohead producer) and Mauro Refosco (Brazilian instrumentalist). "Ingenue" is a great example of the band's overall sound and how they came to it by "bonding over" Afrobeat music. The music video itself is a callback to Radiohead's "Lotus Flower" video featuring Thom York convulsively dancing by himself to the track. Even the "Lotus Flower" choreographers, Garth Jennings and Wayne McGregor, return for "Ingenue." This time, though, we are treated to another dancer, Fukiko Takase, joining Yorke.

The two perform their movements on an empty stage in an empty concert hall while wearing matching three-piece suits. Yorke's eccentric movements are complimented by Takase's professionalism, which is a result of years of contemporary dance. Though it seems like the performance is improvised, you soon realize that each step and gesture is intentional. Randomly, Yorke mouths the lyrics of "Ingenue" to his partner as they move around the stage. The dance is definitely alluring and even somewhat affectionate as the video progresses. What do you think?
