Reptile Youth unveil music video for ‘Shooting Up Sunshine’

‘Shooting Up Sunshine’ was released this week and the band have now revealed the music video.

The video was directed by Jonathan Leder.

Describing “Shooting Up Sunshine” singer Mads Damsgaard says;

“It’s song about being so overcome by happiness that it completely overshadows everything else in life. Happiness feels fantastic in the entire body and can be triggered during the making of a song, milestones in life or simply just sex and drugs. Jonathan Leder, founder of Jacques magazine, who is currently working on his first feature-length film, took time to make this hypnotic video where the sexuality draws you in to the catchy hooks of Reptile Youth’s sun-drenched lyrics. The girl in the video seduces you and all of a sudden you are pulled into a fantasy of summer, sex, and fun. This is part of the addiction of our new generation who are obsessed with the feeling of being free to enjoy whatever whim they want at any given time. To stay up all night dancing until dawn and then driving to the beach still reeling from last night’s high. For one second you can lose yourself in this fantasy but in reality your body possesses the greatest drug, endorphins.”

The band’s self-titled album is set for release on 24th September.
