The New Video From Is Tropical Is The Best Thing I've Seen This Year

Above is a music video that Is Tropical just released. In it, a French boy (who bares an uncanny resemblance to Freaks And Geeks' Sam Weir) is left home alone in a beautiful woman’s house.

Obviously, because he’s a teenage boy with too much time on his hands, he starts to fantasise about boning the woman whose house he is tending to. This leads to the best visual representation of a hand-shandy/tommy-tank/freelancers-lie-down that I’ve ever seen. In fact, it's probably the best music video that I've seen all decade.

It’s absolutely amazing and I wanted to send it out to everyone that I know so we could all enjoy it together. But first, here are a couple of reasons why I think it’s so great.

IT’S IN FRENCH

If you’ve seen even an ounce of French cinema – yes, Amelie counts – then you’ll probably agree that their cinematography is incredible. I’m not sure what it is, but something about subtitles on a screen and the dialect of a femme de jour pittering through my ears makes everything right in the world.

I’M SCARED TO WATCH IT IN THE OFFICE

Did anyone say NSFW? Because I just did. Shamefully, though, a little too late to prevent the people behind me from catching a glimpse of what otherwise looks like an amateur porn clip for the type of people who play World Of Warcraft. On closer inspection though, it’s a work of art cultivated made for the type people who have grown up alongside the rendering of Lara Croft’s pixelated chest.

IT’S WAY BETTER THAN A SHITTY PROMO VIDEO FILMED ON A SUPER 8 CAMERA

Why aren’t more bands making music videos with titillating thirty foot tall CGI babes? Because they totally should be. Or, at the very least, trying to make something as forward thinking and adventurous as this masterpiece. It makes me wonder, if The Pigeon Detectives put something as creative as this in one of their videos, would they still be scuffling for change from the last stragglers of the NME dependents?

THE SONG IS REALLY GOOD

Oh, and there's that, too.
