Immersive and kaleidoscopic, you’ll find yourself transported to another world with the video for Real Love Song.

Southend quintet Nothing But Thieves are gearing up to release their third album Moral Panic on October 23rd, and have recently shared the video for album track Real Love Song. A touching song that combines piano sensibilities with Conor Mason’s unmistakably powerful vocals and falsetto, the track receives a surreal makeover in a visceral, hazy yet exuberant video that blurs between colours and dimensions seamlessly. Directed by Basak Erol, it transforms the themes of the track into a spellbinding watch.

Explaining the video, the band elaborates:

As an audience, we are often presented something that is excessive or overblown, especially when it comes to love stories. We wanted the video to capture the irony of the song whilst making sure it was still affecting. This is a song within a song and the video, with its nods to the modern relationship and its sensationalised band moments, tell two sides of the same story. Where does the cynicism end and the real begin? It was amazing to work with Basak and her team who totally got where we were going and created a story that works on these different levels. This is a love song, so what?
