Young Blood

The Naked and Famous

Synopsis

This Silver Scroll-winner from the Naked and Famous’s debut album was a breakout hit, finding global notice and scoring teen TV shows du jour (Gossip Girls, Skins). The promo, directed by Special Problems (Campbell Hooper and Joel Kefali), with nearly nine million YouTube hits played no small part in announcing the band. Via a catalogue of Dazed and Confused-esque imagery, the clip puts its thumb on the pulse of the soaring synth-pop celebration of ‘Young Blood’: bonnet jumping, sparklers, skating and the mandatory Badlands skylarking and rubbish dump ennui.
