New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Swedish duo
Galantis welcomes viewers to step into a remarkable fantasy world where bodies are transformed into skeleton form in the new official music video for their single "
Bones" featuring OneRepublic. Video director Spencer Hord of AfterWeDead says, "This project was a rare occasion where our amazing team of animators, editors, and production nerds (Joe Cella // Pix3lface // Vince McKelvie // Sam Newell // Andrew Henry // Joey Bryars // Brian Beckwith) saw the album artwork and knew the concept straight away." On his interpretation of Bones Park Hord says, "We wanted to do something conceptually simple, but visually challenging. The goal was to create a literal representation of "
Bones" with 3D animation, and merge these CG assets with a moody amusement park environment to create a surreal mixed-reality narrative. We shot the live action plates at Castle Park in Riverside - a small theme park in Southern California I grew up attending for various grade-school birthday parties. The location was much better than I remembered, and the production process became a nostalgic experience to say the least."
"
Bones" builds acoustically and takes flight in true
Galantis fashion. The Grammy nominated duo's latest single follows up the recent success of "
San Francisco" (feat.
Sofia Carson), along with "
Emoji", "Satisfied" (feat. MAX), and "
Spaceship" (feat. Uffie). Known for their over-the-top live performances, Christian Karlsson (also of Bloodshy &
Avant and Miike Snow) and
Linus Eklöw (Style of Eye) are spanning the globe with festivals and shows in 2019, including a headline live show at New York's Brooklyn Mirage on July 5th that has just gone on sale, a show at Los Angeles' Shrine Expo Hall on October 18th that goes on sale this Thursday, April 25th, and more coming soon - see full itinerary below!
Galantis will also release a remix package for "
Bones" on April 26th featuring re-works from the guys themselves, on their
Galantis & shnd? VIP Mix, as well as versions from Hook N Sling, Steff da Campo, B-Sights, eSQUIRE, and Lodato.
