Lacquer

Lacquer, a dynamic band that hails from France, rode the waves of global popularity with the release of their song "Behind" in 2003. A significant layer to their charm is their fusion of various genres, from pop to rock to electronica, which resonated with a wide range of music lovers. In a surprising twist, they have gained even more notoriety for their distinctively creative music videos, directed by an eclectic mix of directors who have contributed majorly to the visual appeal of their discography.

Perhaps one of the most memorable videos is for the song "Behind," directed by Jonas Åkerlund. Known for his work with big names like Madonna and Lady Gaga, Åkerlund brought his flair for high-concept visuals to “Behind” which captured major attention worldwide. The video narrates a cyclical, non-linear story played backward, nudging viewers to piece the narrative together. All this while never showing the band members' faces! Another intriguing video is that for "All that You Have," which primarily comprises of silhouetted figures against vibrant backdrops, creating a haunting contrast. As the last interesting tidbit, it’s worth noting that Lacquer chooses to not appear in their videos, ensuring the focus remains solely on the audio-visual experience, their music, and the director's artistic vision.
