Vancouver's James Younger writes easygoing pub rock full of shuffling tambourines, bouncy basslines, and chiming guitarmonies. Appropriately enough, his first music video is inspired by certain power-pop elders. As Younger recalls, ""After surreptitiously trolling Youtube I found this video of XTC performing 'Making Plans for Nigel' on an old CrackerJack episode. I just got right into their performance; shamelessly miming, not an amplifier in sight, but the real kicker was that the set design was nuts." He got director Emma Higgins to replicate that video's crystal pyramids, and a friend to supply German subtitles, "for the cherry on top."
