Lee Miller, Anne Boleyn and Sylvia Plath - the deadcrushes of each of the band members - conjured up by a supercomputer in a post-apocalyptic world. Absolutely beautiful
Alan7moore thanks for sharing! It adds more depth to an already deeply disturbing video.
Alan7moore i bet sylvia plath is thom's choice
"Vocalist Joe Newman chose photographer Lee Miller, drummer Thom Green picked poet and writer Sylvia Plath, and keyboardist Gus Unger-Hamilton went with Anne Boleyn, a former Queen of England who was ordered beheaded by her husband, King Henry VIII." Splendid.
Didn't know it was Sylvia Plath thank you.
Daniel Minighiti That was her nickname, Anne Boleyn was her proper name
I'm so grateful to be alive at the same time as alt-J
isabellaxxm ooo too
isabellaxxm so much. Saw them live and still shiver thinking about it
isabellaxxm YES
Me too! They're my absolute favorite band in this world ❤
When I forget the name of this song and try sing it to people they think im smoking crack
Honestly. I'd think you were smoking crack if you tried singing this to me. Especially in public.
😂😂😂😂😂
1 min laughing ez
Keepa, keepa, keepa, keep me damn down
Aussie Comedy when I’m smoking crack and try to sing this song people call the police.
Pure piece of art. Deadcrush is the sickest name for a song
Pure piece of art no doubt...👍that make s me feel with many type of diferent personalitys😂
Have you seen Danny Brown's version?
no
What does it even mean though
@@jackoliver7506 idfk
-Thirty seconds in... "I think i need to be high for this" ....
-Music starts...
-"I'm high"
DUDE WEED LMAO
Tareq AlSalem yep exactly
Tareq AlSalem I'm watching this high ASF and this is so deep yet I don't understand it but I love the dancing
If you are an idiot of course
If you are an idiot of course
This song and video is incredible. Lee Miller's runway walk in her army uniform, as she was a fashion model before a military photographer. Anne Boleyn, the mother of the church of England before the stained glass and her prayer dance. Sylvia Plaith gripping her head as she struggled with her mental health and committed suicide at 30, her works recognized post-death (mostly) because of her very crappy husband, who even burned many of her poems. Amazing work to everyone involved!
This is the origin story? I love the dancing! Interpret style dance is amazing. I danced years ago and am obsessed with it still! This song hits me on my feels every time!!
Hi I Recommend A Song called 'The Bond Villain' By Robert Nix
@@redskies4530 wtf did I just watch.
i feel it has more to do with anima/animus in conflict than an actress's personal struggles. While talented she probably didn't design the set or pick the costumes. RIP though she was incredibly talented.
Amazing, beautiful
I just realise that "you're my DC" means you're my deadcrush
took me literally hearing the song appr. 20 times before realizing what 2 "places" like DC (washington), and LA (los angeles) have to do with Anna Bolina and Lee Miller... and then the coin fell.. and I felt incredibly dumb XD
Oh thanks now I know 😘
So then is this song a follow up to Breezeblocks...his deadcrush?
i started knowing from your comment
Right now, me too.
can we have an Alt-J and Glass Animals collab? Could you imagine what that music video would be like!!!!
Thank you introducing me to glass animals! You sir/ma'am have some good taste in music!
@@Jo-qy4cj anytime my friend, the world would be a better place with more glass animals lol
Michael... Thank you for mentioning Glass Animals!
Yesssssss.
Please
I'm an old man and just discovered this fantastic art. Its more than music and lyrics. Its pure art.
Have you heard Taro yet?? Phenomenal.
Lol. I keep forgetting I'm old
Walter... I'm very old and hard of hearing. I play this song loud on some old Wharfedale speakers. My neighbor called the cops on me and one showed up at my door. The officer and I ended up being friends believe it or not. He comes over from time to time. We drink tea, play cards, and listen to new alternative music. He's actually kinda cute ;O
@YOLO MORGANNWG If this comment is directed at me...why do you ask?
@@justinculp5038 no one cares dude
now alt-J have their own Personal Jesus
Reach out
Touch faith
PLACEBO
Chinese Man, Afghan rhythm, French Poets… oh how the beauty of music transcends universal, uniting one and all.
Damn... over 4 years and I'm still listening to this masterpiece like at least once a week, always experiencing something new. Like it was my first time.
It's a badass song. I still love it
Still a daily occurrence for me.... not ashamed in the slightest
five years now
I'm listening it still after 6 yrs it gives me energy!
If you turn this up, no way people ain't at least head bobbin in their heads.
I'm so glad this song got a music video! Deadcrush is probably my favourite of Relaxer. And this music video is mind blowing!
Starting at 1:47 you can see Joe laying down on the floor.
Billy Chambers i totally agree probably the best song of the album
Azzedine Djabri Adeline is the best by far
I mean, the video is really good but is not that mind blowing.
*Listen to 'Peacock Affect - Autumn'*

An excellent interpretive dance. A brilliant video.
ty - gonna look for more from them
Dont understand a thing I'm dumb

"As we were finishing writing our second album, This Is All Yours, we came up with a quick jam which we luckily captured on one of our phones. This turned into 'Deadcrush', which is a word we made up to describe someone who is no longer alive that you fancy. Thus the first verse is about Lee Miller, Joe's deadcrush, the second about Anne Boleyn, Gus's."- alt-J

lol right it is kinda hard to understand
IM DYING HERE same
how on earth did you figure out the lyrics. Youre a miracle
nick k Why in the lyrics there are only 2 people mentioned? What about Sylvia?
The choreography is simply mesmerising... especially the chorus part
Makes me want to watch it over and over
absolutely same here, I've loved that song for years but only watched the video now! do you have an idea what kind of dance they perform? is it contemporary? dang, I love it
I love it so much, I remember learning it a few years ago 😭 probably looked like an insane person, but the song is one of my favourites if all time and the video is amazing to me
After watching this for the thousandth time, I think I finally understand what the music video is. It's taking these clear disks, which contain the entire essence of each individual and something is documenting them spinning in a kind of projected dance of life until the moment they fall. An entire lifetime for each one of them encompassed in what would only amount to a single spin of the disc in the timeline of the universe. Some stay spinning (or stay alive) longer and some fall faster. Some choose to devote themselves to their faith, their honor, their passion, etc but they all get only one chance to perform.
Or at least that's what I now make of this.
wonderful analysis. I was tracking on this outcome...but why are they all walled up? that is the next dimension....are women put away more for being free thinkers???????????? (consider en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Boleyn)
@@christinekieffer5782
Anne Boleyn was an interesting person, but how do you think she ties in?
I think you could be right about it being a higher dimension. But here's the thing. There doesn't really seem to be anything much beyond that building. It's pretty barren. The excitement is focused on the disc, or life itself. Life is the point. Life is the reason and the purpose for its existance. The dance, the struggle, the musing, the creating, and then destroying.
The disks may be a reference to Logan's Run, where information is stored on disk/rings which are spun to play the information.
So I didn't care much for this song at first listen on the album- but with the new video, and now knowing the back-story... man, I _love_ it! Alt-J lyrics are so often bizarre and disturbing, but they have such an amazing sound (collective) and carry such an uncomfortably wonderful subject matter repertoire- gaaaah...so amazing!
AmberLearns whats the backstory? :)
can you tell us the back-story?
Maybe this article helps :) wetransfer.com/thisworks/2017/07/12/alt-j-young-replicant-deadcrush/?eml=2017July12/4044680/6155235&etsubid=142519490
Thanks a lot
I honestly think they come up with a video and song together it's like an alluring story when combined tells so beautifully!
i feel the song even more with this video, thank you
Michal V. pacheck
Incredible how alt-j invented art 2 years ago
Love this!
hahaha
Nah
Art was never invented art was created
@@matiasaraya8780 wow you're so deep wow just wow
One of the most powerful songs and videos ever on my list.. wow just wow.
I agree....amazing video!!
has visto poco entonces
I love the way the dancers spaz in the end like the VR machine is malfunctioning... Those dancers slay.
The « Superman» vintage série trick, ment as humor, i found that amazing and funny! Sotch a great vidéo and song!!! Love it, hook't!
Kinda sad that this music video wasn't alt j sitting in a basement eating rice cakes while recording this song
Sonia Richter eventually they'll release one with them eating rice cakes I'll wait forever
oh my god
thats some inside shit
why not just eating rice cakes.. this would have been enough for this video
It's going to happen eventually for sure
The Choreographer CRUSHED IT. The choreography is EXTREMELY intuitive! Ï was wiling and trance dancing to it without the video a bunch; then one day I danced to it with the video and 90% of what they were doing is EXACTLY what ï was doing. Ï was shook. I'm like dang ..were they recording me and stole my moves??
Same
This happened to me with the song gold by chet, I was like damn this would be a nice skating flowy song, couple months later seen the music video, completely on point.
I think you're either heavily exaggerating or you have some kind of mental disorder like schizophrenia
Sue them
I think this is my favourite Alt-J song. It's the rhythm, of the whole song (the beat combined with the way it's sung), I think.
Also I really enjoy the dancers. They're fantastic, especially at the end.
I will forever love every single thing that Alt-J blesses us with (even when I have no idea what it means).
I CAN'T get enough of the dancing in this. It's AMAZING.
4:00 lol if i heard that was the case i could die a happy man
Nach den Doors, Janes Addiction, Jega, Autechre und TV on the Radio meine Liste bereichernd auf Platz 1!
I don't know which I'm entranced by more: this song or the choreography. Genius.
I could watch 2:02-2:07 on loop for hours
I feel you.
That is one of my favorite parts of this music video and I have no idea why...but I love it!!
I lost my shit with that part.
The dancing in this video fits the music so incredibly well
Amanda Anglemyer Ikr? Genius choreography
Yeah. This is the kind of song that excites me on music.
"So far from typical". But not that much.
Alt-J and Glass Animals are taking some of my time.
You're so right ..also TOP and Missio if you agree ;)
Madl En i’m kind of astonished how on point you are, those are my favorite bands
Yep
How did you know I liked glass animals and alt j
Thanks for recommending Glass Animals :)
2023 and Still listening to this great song and band👍🏼😎 thanks #FIFA18
Talked about finding the correct dance expression of Alt-J song a couple of weeks ago and now they release this...
Agreed
watch cat cogliandro's choreography to breezeblocks and other alt j songs! I think they capture the songs really well
This is actually how I look dancing to this song tho.
i just fucking LOVE how they put historical (and literary) references in sooo many songs.... ill nevvvver stop loving them!
LAUNGUAGE
@@user-rx5tr2gf7m mine?
Joe's deadcrush is Elizabeth "Lee" Miller (1907-1977) American model/war photographer
Gus's deadcrush is Anna Bolina (1501-1536) Queen of England, married to and beheaded by King Henry Tudor VIII
Thom's deadcrush is Sylvia Plath (1932-1963) American poet; but she didn't make the lyrics
Mines Abigail Williams, horribly misrepresented in history.
Very insightful!!!
wtf, how come SP didin't make the lyrics...
@@melissafonseca6897 probably cuz "stuck your head in an oven" didn't flow with the lyrics.
Jk I love Plath and wish depression didn't take her from us early.
Your comment makes me finally understand this music video! This video is all about them, correct?
Listening to this while walking down the street on a cloudy, cold Wednesday morning in the city makes me feel like I’m walking to a fight and about to whoop someone’s ass.
I would have moved my shoulders dancing all the way
Dramatic build up before the big fight, casual punches on the punching bag lmao
Then your to angry calm down
I love how people interpret music into feelings and thoughts
I miss the creativity of my younger self who could turn a whole song into an action scene or music video in my head
@@mikhailwesthallen4356 anger is a necessary emotion
And pretty much essential to being a sane human in my opinion
Just needs to be kept in check
This song never fails to give me goosebumps and I genuinely think it's a masterpiece. Not only is the concept of dead crushes so interesting, but the sound perfectly fits that theme. It's so relaxed and laid-back, but something about it perfectly catches that yearning feeling, like bittersweet sadness.
This is the greatest choreography ever. I've seen it like 35 times and it never gets old.
I agree, have you seen any other good things since? I'm looking for recommendations if possible!
I've added at least 2000 views to the total lol...i was obsessed with this when I first saw it and still return every few months, its spectacular 😍
this is insane!
Ikr! enticing in a strangely way.
Pretty insane hahahahah
This is easily my fav alt j song
Kyrae Jenkins check out the like a version they did. Love it
Kyrae Jenkins Breezeblocks.
Yeah pretty awesome stuff!

You guys made the FIFA 18 soundtrack so enjoyable to listen to.
Big thank you to all involved in this project! Every element and segment works so beautifully together, from costume, choreography, to camera work. Just gorgeous.
This is what I call a great piece of art, left me speechless.
Each glass plate that is circling represents each dancer in the video. They are from different timeline: past(the fancy dress woman), present (the solider) and future (the one with tights). As the light goes through those glasses, they start to project these dancers. Though they are from the different timeline, they exist on the same dance floor, dancing altogether. The time doesn't exist, and we are just projections of light through prisms, dancing altogether.
Nvm... They are representations of 'dead'-crushes of each one of the band members respectively... Sylvia Plath (one with tights), Lee Millers (soldier), Anne Boleyn (fancy woman)
thank you for explainin cos im out here on that dum dum just captivated lmao
Actually, according to song lyrics, the first one is propably about the photographer Lee Miller, who was Man Ray's partner, model and lover.
I think that's happening in the video is that the original dancing women are "blanks", which get generated by the computer which spins the discs (lenses?) at the start. Then one by one they are transformed into the three women you list.
How do u know dat
For me it is heavenly. Thank you. Where darkness meets light.
brings me back memories from playing FIFA 18!!
This is one of the best songs I have heard in a long time, and the music video is absolutely amazing, I love the style in their dancing.
Agree

Edit: Unbelievable a triangle can have so many supporters. I hope I see some of you supporters at the alt-j show in cologne in january ∆

hey, my favourite shape
3 points where 2 lines meet
as alt-j and bastille fan
yeah definitelly my favourite shape
Of course
One of their best ... pure genius, from beginning to end.
how can a song leave you so filled but yet so unfulfilled at the same time?
I love how each of the spinning coins is a dancer and when the light shines on one of the coins it's that dancer's individual character's turn. So lovely.
I'm a simple man: I see Alt-j video - I click
Grom _09 me too... I see a dumb comment I cringe
This band - they're amazing - their musical style, their lyrics, their videos - awesome to see some real art brought back into the world
I am totally obsessed with this song at the minute..!! 2 bars playing over & over in my head at all times for the past week, sending me delicately insane 💓👌

Best Playlists q
All this interpretive dancing creeped the hell out of me... *o___o*
But hell, it fits the song and its mood damn well.
Serj Herman its actually choreography but hey....
the whole time I was watching this I was just thinking to myself: "this is just too hip for me to understand it. These guys Alt-J bring a whole new level of nerdiness to the alternative culture."
way bad words!!!!!!!
I can not stop watching for some reason I love it
jim connell, Interpretive dances can be choreographed, so I'm not sure what is the point of your comment, but hey...
1:30 literally my favourite sound ever
Honestly, my favorite song by Alt-J. Absolutely stunning work. Favorite band of all time.
Estou há horas aqui e não consigo parar de rever.
Esse vídeo tá MUITO perfeito, não esperava nada menos deles, mas me surpreenderam!
Janaina Meu novo hino
Laís Dutra eles não decepcionam
vc quer dança performática @sia?

This is the most addictive video : ) Every time you find something better and better: the choreography, the sync, the camera angles and swings, the light, the costumes, the choice of characters.. my god! THE MUSIC! thank you guys thank you for doing this
Just love this song. It's so dark. It really blew my mind when at around 3:17 it gets a bit bluesy and still fits in perfectly.
Took the words right out of my soul. The dead are still loved
A masterpiece from one or possibly the a best album thus far for the year we living.
Thank u alt-j for the soundscapes and your perfect bizarreness.
Guys listen thoroughly the whole album. No mediocre track in relaxer. Just pure perfection.
Thank u guys for making this world better.
Nah man. Check these guys out: itunes.apple.com/in/album/fools-ep/1314290481
Heard this song for the first time live, with their light show setup. I'd be lying if I said it didn't blow my mind. Still gives me chills.
Doesn’t get old!
“Unknown artist took your likeness, Henry Tudor left you lifeless”. RIP Anne Boleyn - such a sad lyric!
This is literally one of the best music videos of all time. Everything about it works. Amazing.
Between this and Breezeblocks, this band deserves exorbenant credit for creativity and individuality. New favorite! 🔺
"Mesmerising" falls short.
It doesn’t matter where I am; when I hear this song, I always wanna start dancing. I love their music.
ALT_J have to be the best band out there with no comparison on any level...absolutely superb
This moment when you look at the video and you're like : WTF is this... Oh yeah, that's just alt-J
I fall in love with alt-J songs/albums in four stages:
1 listening to the music alone
2 reading and understanding the lyrics
3 when the music videos get released
4 seeing them live.
They kill me more and more every time, thank you
there is something hypnotic in the way they're dance. I love it!
I can't stop listening to this!!! It hits so hard, and the video is amazingly awesome!
Dead crush..... As beautiful as a person can be, always know where you stand....
Just a thought.
This song lives rent free in my head, bangin song, it's crazy how much of the lyrics I can feel, as it related to my current situation.....
So rare for me that a video adds even more to a song. I love the music and this choreography and narrative of the video just massively improved it for me. Alt-J you do things to me...
Looooove this choreography 🙀
6yrs now and I'm still tripping out to this excellence
Anne Boleyn giving "suck it" to the red rose of Lancaster..... I love knowing history.
finally, a music video worth watching more than once
I wasn't ready for this. Thank you alt-j :')
0:37 L- Miller 19.4.1907, (Lee miller was an American photographer and photojournalist. She was a fashion model in New York City in the 1920s before going to Paris, where she became a fashion and fine art photographer. During the Second World War, she was a war correspondent for Vogue, covering events such as the London Blitz, the liberation of Paris, and the concentration camps at Buchenwald and Dachau.) she is one of the character. this video is much more deeper and meaningful than it seems.
I love this dance choreographer! I've seen his work before. I think the dancers did a great job showing feminine moves and stress. Interesting song. It'll be on repeat for a while!
Congrats to all the people that worked on this video, it's outstanding. A"making-of" would be great !
i want to know the inspiration behind the visuals and the vocals, very interpritive and artistic!
This is the most Alt-j thing I've seen.
What sucks the most is anyone I talk to about AltJ ..they know nothing about them. Some remember breeze blocks or left hand free because it was on the radio back when. The only other person I know who knows about these guys and likes them is my 11 yr old neice. Which is absolutely great to me
This is literally a music video MASTERPIECE. It’s so AMAZING.
Great song standing alone. Video makes it that much better. Genius!
Fun fact for those who dont know choreography is by Darcy Wallace, Joe's girlfriend. ♥ She seems pretty amazing and talented. Cant choose my favorite song from Relaxer, because this is amazing but.. Adeline... and Pleader... and WW3.. simply impossible to choose.
I think this is better than Adeline!
ahoj lenko, ty tady?! :D
And Joe is in the video, look at 1:38
If I ever end my life this song will be playing in the background
Ok well don’t end your life so you have play it all the time.
Dont die keep listening to great music you'll pull trough
Such a different kind of music I will always love Alt-j!
The choreography 😭😍😍
So much action
We neeeed a tutorial for this, amirite?
Riley Kazukiewicz haha, that would be awesome!
Best music video I've seen in ages.
One of the best videos that exist in music. Major props to Darcy Jayne!
