The Datsuns return with video for new single, Brain To Brain + forthcoming new album

Checkout the brand-new video from The Datsuns, Brain To Brain.

The video was shot by London-based director Marc Swadel (The Chemical Brothers, Stone Roses, Sparks, Thurston Moore). Made in quarantined bedrooms, kitchens and practice spaces across three international time zones, it has the feel of a crazy 70’s style science documentary, with a scuzzy old-school vibe. The ‘operation scene’ was filmed on Marc’s kitchen table with a frozen pigs head, and the ‘brain in the box’ scene was shot in his bathroom. The footage was put through an old VHS deck a few times to give it a kick back in time.



Dolf de Borst said, "Brain to Brain is the first song we wrote for our new album, Eye to Eye. It's a very ‘Datsuns’ type song of pop sensibilities masked behind noise and high energy. It's about taking a huge step back from our digital worlds in-order to preserve one's sanity. We have so many amazing toys to communicate with, but it often feels we don't get it right, so much gets twisted. There’s a fascination in watching one another bare our souls and devour each other for entertainment that’s kind of horrifying.”
