Watch the video for Daniel Blumberg’s ‘Family’, a brand new track recorded during the album sessions for his acclaimed debut album on Mute, Minus.
This is a live recording of the first, and only, time that Tom Wheatley, Billy Steiger, Jim White and Daniel Blumberg played ‘Family’. The track is accompanied by a video, shot by Daniel Blumberg featuring the actor Stacy Martin, who is known for her work with Lars Von Trier, Matteo Garone and her recent performance alongside Natalie Portman in Brady Corbet’s ‘Vox Lux’ which recently premiered at Venice Film Festival.
Filmed in a beautiful old Parisian hotel, the footage is a highly intimate portrait that draws you into the song’s compelling tension. Watch the video for ‘Family’ here
