Video premiere: Foreign Affairs – One Minute

We’re excited to today premiere the new video from Bristol duo Foreign Affairs, for their single, One Minute.

In case you aren’t aware of Foreign Affairs, here is the history lesson. The band is the musical collaboration of brothers Adam and Lawrence Purnell, who began writing together in their early teens before Adam relocated to Brussels to study guitar. The move did not halt their progress, with writing sessions over Skype maintaining their productivity and the long distance partnership providing the inspiration for their name.

Of the new song, the duo tell us, “One Minute’ is such a personal song to us, it’s like an open letter and one long thought. We wanted the music video to show just as much emotion as the song itself, and we thought the best way to accomplish this was to make it simple. Delivering a monologue directly to the camera lets the audience see every moment of emotion, and being that close to Lawrence’s eyes creates a feeling that it is being delivered directly to you. There are no camera tricks or frills to this music video as we knew the most important thing was focusing on the emotion and lyrics.”
