Scissors music video for Canadian Band Eight and a Half
Label Arts and Craft
Directed by Gaelle Jaunay

Spinner US Dec 2011 :

The Toronto trio is composed of Peroff's electronically wired back beats, the keyboard play of Liam O'Neil and singer-guitarist Dave Hamelin, both of whom were members in defunct Montreal group the Stills. After a year of planning and relocating, the new band has become a Canadian surprise, and anticipation is building for this budding collective of indie-rock veterans. "It feels like we are hitting the refresh button," Peroff recently told Spinner RPM.

Eight and a Half's first single, 'Scissors,' has all the pain and heartache of a scorned band member, lover or friend. Its universal appeal isn't just in the chorus lyrics ("Hold me like an old friend/Hold me like an omen"), it's in the stark swishes of digital drums and raincloud synths that grab hold of your mind's darkest regions.
