Video: Basement Jaxx, “Raindrops”

story THE FADER

Summer of Love Alert! Besides antidepressant standbys Basement Jaxx making “Raindrops” a very pop-oriented, in-sync-with-lo-fi-movement explosion of joy, they employed some dancers for their video to don faux “tribal” body paint and interpret some post-Josephine Baker choreo-bananasosity. This is also in the lineage of Dee-Lite’s “Groove is in the Heart” video vs. Gang Gang Dance album art. The multitudes of cultural references! (Via P4K)
