The singles label Green Label Sound has started 2009 with the official video for "Big Bills" the collaboration between Chicago-based DJ/production duo Flosstradamus and Caroline Polachek of Brooklyn's indie-synth band Chairlift.
Setting the stage in a freezing warehouse located in Brooklyn, New York, Flosstradamus and Caroline are surrounded by colorful lighting and hanging mirrors catching their reflections. The inspiration came from contemporary Danish artist, Olafur Eliasson. Director Keven McAlester explains, "For the video, I wanted to do something very simple, very mathematical--complement the song without getting in the way. We tried a bunch of more complicated stuff with mirrors, but we kept coming back to the simple things that worked. Color and geometry. My kindergarten teacher would be proud."
The collaboration marks several "firsts" for all players: the first collaboration on Green Label Sound; the first official original release from Flosstradamus; and the first "dance" track featuring Caroline Polachek. Flosstradamus (Curt Cameruci and Josh Young), known for their ability to seamlessly blend old school beats, Euro big-room tunes, funky house, and minimal techno, have laid down a fun and compelling beat which complements the subtle indie pop vocals of Chairlift's Caroline Polachek perfectly. "Big Bills" is available for free download at GreenLabelSound.com.
