Keys In The Song Of Life

Stuart Bailie|16:25 UK time, Monday, 22 November 2010

Key Of Atlas were rightly praised in this blog a year ago - their animated Lego video for 'Someone Help Me' was a most excellent adventure. Now they have returned with 'Bullets And Sand', a surprisingly textured song that delivers a huge gain on their ambitions. In the old days, a record company would cheerfully throw £100 000 at this sort of thing. I'll bet this particular budget was more resourceful.

So maximum credit to the Lisbane posse and also to video maker Darren Lee, who has also been doing bold work with Aaron Shanley, Clown Parlour and Silhouette. Talent everywhere, man.

    Of all the beautiful imagery in this video it's the cup and ball that I keep going back too.. more powerful an image than children holding hands, a groom planting a ring on the wedding finger..



    Must be down to desensitization. Even the graveyard doesn't capture me as much as that little wooden cup!
