Today, BOYS NOIZE reveals the video for his third track of the upcoming Mayday album, “Starchild” featuring Poliça HERE. The video is shot by LIL INTERNET in Miami and stars Poliça’s Channy Leaneagh.
“Working on the song “Starchild” with Boys Noize and the video with Lil Internet were both two of the most inspiring and interesting things I’ve done so far. I am honored to be able to have spent time in both of their worlds and work under their minds for these collaborations” – Channy Leaneagh,Poliça
Director LIL INTERNET explains the background of the video director LIL INTERNET: “The original inspiration was a harrowing film released last year by artists Alli Coates and Signe Pierce called “American Reflexxx.” The film, which depicts a masked woman walking through Myrtle Beach with violent results, ended up showing that Frankenstein narratives of persecution and misunderstanding of the “other” can unfold very easily in real life and in real time, even today. With Alli and Signe’s inspiration- and blessing to do the video- I set up a similar scenario with Poliça in a narrative of an alien falling from space and landing in South Beach. We put her in a nude bodysuit and a clear raincoat and walked around and basically just filmed what happened. Poliça is just a naturally magnetic performer- she elicited immensely beautiful moments- and while we didn’t have a result nearly as violent as Alli and Signe’s film, we did end up capturing deep emotion and complicated responses in scenes that lie somewhere between fantasy and reality. There’s many layers you can extract from the responses we captured, and I could talk forever about them, but most importantly I have to thank Poliça for her gorgeously ethereal- and incredibly brave- performance (there were more than a few extremely uncomfortable moments for her), to Alli Coats and Signe Pierce for the inspiration and giving me the OK to do this video, and of course for Boys Noize for giving me free reign to do several videos for him over the course of this album release, all of which were adventures in themselves. I do recommend watching American Reflexxx as a counterpart to the “Starchild” video, and thinking about what both videos say about humanity and society- and if there is anything we need now more than ever, it’s empathy for the “other,” whoever the “other” is to you.”
The techno punk, the unboxable nomad, Berlin DJ and producer BOYS NOIZE will release his 4th solo album MAYDAY on May 20, 2016 via Boysnoize Records. The third track off the new album, “Starchild”, features Channy Leaneagh of Poliça world record by Zane Lowe on his BEATS 1 show. Earlier, “Overthrow” and “Euphoria” ft Remy Banks were revealed from the upcoming release MAYDAY.
BOYS NOIZE will premiere his new show at Sonar, Barcelona, on June 18. Boys Noize conceived the spectacle together with visual artists SUS BOY and LIL INTERNET, exploring a thematic narrative inspired by cyberpunk, 80’s industrial and surveillance in contemporary society.
