MUSIC VIDEO OF THE WEEK: ROMÆO, Something New

Happiness is a project. Optimism is a chore. Memory is a question.

These are the lines of text that flash across the screen to open the Something New video, followed by three minutes of documentary-style interviews with the artist and co-stars before the track itself kicks in.

“I wanted to create a track of consolation, of finding the pleasure in that which is constant and finding the beauty there,” Melbourne experimental artist ROMÆO said.

“We sought to capture moments of simple joy and playfulness.”

The result is a unique video that is as thought-provoking as it is heartwarming.
