Trentemøller mit "Even Though You're With Another Girl".

Ja, der dänische Elektro-Musiker und Produzent Anders Trentemøller achtet als eine von wenigen Musikschaffenden penibel genau auf, dass alle visuellen Begleitungen zu seinen Singles ein hohes Qualitätsniveau einhalten. Oder anders gesagt: all seine bisherigen Musikvideos sind verdammt gut!
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Das ist bei diesem vom Regisseur Adam Hashemi gedrehten und wirklich filmreifen Musikvideo zum von Josephine Phillip gesungenen Song natürlich nicht anders. Kurz zusammengefasster Plot des Videos: melancholischer schnauzbärtiger Typ kommt mit seinem Leben nicht zurecht, ist unzufrieden und unglücklich. Mit dessen Partnerin besucht er deren Eltern, die beide zum Essen eingeladen hatten und fühlt sich dort recht unwohl. Plötzlich schwebt er vom Stuhl und schwebt aus dem Fenster in eine andere Welt, eventuell in seine Traumwelt oder in eine dunklere Ebene seiner Fantasie. Dort befinden sich auch gewisse Frauen, die er in seiner Vergangenheit einst gedatet hatte.

Trentemøller: .... Even Though You're With Another Girl (Official music video) from SEN Music TV on Vimeo.

“... Even Though You’re With Another Girl” is the second single taken from Anders Trentemøller’s wonderful second studio-album “Into The Great Wide Yonder” which has just been released in June 2010. The new single with the beautiful vocals of Josephine Phillip (Darkness Falls, Ja Confetti) is released in September with remixes by Pantha Du Prince and Kollektiv Turmstrasse and alternative versions from Mikael Simpson (available on a limited edition 7-inch) and Anders Trentemøller.

The new music video for the new single “... Even Though You’re With Another Girl” is more like a surreal short story than a video. It is directed by Adam Hashemi, a Danish film director. The story is about a man who can‘t live with himself, thus destroying his own hopes of being happy. In the beginning we see him bringing his girlfriend to meet his parents. Mildly put, the man does not like being there, he feels overly claustrophobic. He has a hard time looking anyone in the eyes, even his girlriend who tries to be supportive nonetheless. From there on things take a more wacky twist, as the room gets filled with steam, and the man flies out the window. He then succumbs to the smoke and lets it take him on an adventure into a strange universe featuring women from the past. In the end, he ends up back in the house he grew up in, where he accidentally destroys the last bond between him and his girlfriend. He drifts away into unknown territory, probably the darker areas of his own mind. Based on a dream, the video ties the subconscious world with the very flat universe of social realism. In this world, there are no real rules of conduct, it is just visions that evoke emotions of something hidden deep within all of us. This can also be seen on the forever changing filmic language that starts off as being very normal (yet still timeless) and developing into a much more cinematic universe with elements of Fellini and Film Noir.

Furthermore, the “... Even Though You’re With Another Girl” follows it’s own structure which is very unlike the other songs you hear on the radio. The film bases its narration on that same structure, creating an almost operatic feel. All in all, this is an experiment in the art of video making, and it will be up to an audience to say whether it is a successful experiment or not.
