Capital Cities are back and get philosophical with a sorrow and joy collided new music video for their track "One Minute More," the first taken from the American indie alt-dance group's recently re-released deluxe edition of debut LP "In A Tidal Wave Of Mystery." The new song features some classic Capital Cities vocals and a piano sample worthy of RAC, himself. "I can't wait one minute more, the sun does shine" is the chant that echoes over sunny synths and tinkling keys. "One Minute More," is another stellar dance-pop tune with an effervescent chorus that rivals breakthrough smash "Safe And Sound."
In an interview thr band said about song: "'One Minute More' is a song that we had written a while back, it was going to end up on the album as well, it was one of the contenders, but we hadn't really completed it exactly to our standards, I guess, so we put out the album. As time passed we kept revisiting the song and we felt like it was a strong song and this felt like a good opportunity to finish it up and include it on a deluxe version of the album alongside some other cool tracks and remixes as well."
The video begins with the quote from Lebanese poet Khalil Gibran, "Joy and Sorrow are inseparable... Together they come and when one sits alone with you... Remember that the other is asleep upon your bed." Don't worry the song is quite the opposite of the visual message. If you've been following the video follies of Capital Cities and director Brewer then you know their collaboration can't possible just be a floating dock performance for the hottest Lake Havasu Spring Breakers ever. And it's not.
The video is something much more figurative. And the imagined party ends as quickly as a crying jag. As our favorite electro-pop duo explaied: "The video is really interesting and juxtaposes this very sad woman who is basically going through the process of a divorce. That sadness is contrasted by this group of twenty-somethings having a party on a lake with a bunch of watercraft. It is kind of a typical Capital Cities video where we try to show the dichotomy of a human existence: the good, the bad and the contract what defines the good and the bad."
