MUSIC VIDEO ANALYSIS

King Krule - Biscuit Town (XL Recordings)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=P3AUU-VM4Io

The music video starts with shots of a cardboard town, we see tall buildings with windows lit. All the buildings seem to look the same, the song is supposed to represent the artists mind which he calls biscuit town, perhaps he is highlighting his own repetitive nature.



We then see directly into one specific window where we see a man  drinking and we can assume he is drinking alcohol however the lyrics tell us that he is drinking 'soda' however this contrasts with the bottle.


The video is filmed from the perception of someone walking through "Biscuit Town" (a term often used to describe the town of Bermondsey in London which may have formed part of the inspiration for Krule)  as he looks up Krule sees a woman swimming in the moonlight.

As the video goes on Krule is seen in a redlit bar speaking about a female which seems to be a recurring topic throughout the song.
As the video goes there is many track shots which follow krule through the cardboard town as he walks in the dead of night. At the end of the video he is seen walking amongst the buildings like a giant, throughout the video we see a strong resemblance to new york’s 1940s jazz scene.  



The music video has a cyclical narrative and ends in the same way it began with Krule back in his room with an establishing shot moving out.
