Middle school gym class isn’t exactly a place most people look back upon fondly. A bastion of ill fitting uniforms and adolescent gawkiness, thinking of it now is cringe-inducing. Who else hated trying to climb the rope? London-based indie pop group Woman’s Hour new video for “In Stillness We Remain” reimagines the vibe of gym class. A trio of girls and a trio of boys execute a dance as earnest as the song, spinning unselfconsciously.Filmed at Queen Katherine School, the secondary school home of the members of Woman’s Hour, the kids choreographed the dance themselves. Directed by lead singer Fiona Burgess, it reads as an intimate conversation between children and the music. It’s not polished or perfect, and yet despite that (or because of it) the end result is charming. It’s poignant and nuanced, enough to make you crack a smile and let your awkward memories fade.UK Noisey fans can catch Woman’s Hour as they play shows throughout the UK like Bestival and Green Man Festival. Then, they’ll be hopping across the pond for their first North America headline tour.WOMAN'S HOUR TOUR DATES:
