← Back | Musician | 2 Music Videos
The Go! Team, a British six-piece ensemble, exploded onto the music scene in the early 2000s. They gained a reputation for crafting an eclectic blend of indie pop, garage rock, hip-hop and cheerleader-esque chants that formed a sound as distinctive as it was audacious. Their audioscapes are paired with equally riveting visuals crafted by a cadre of talented directors, which has ensured that their music videos are just as impactful as their compositions.
One piece of their visually arresting arsenal is the video for "Ladyflash" directed by famed Michel Gondry. It’s an abstract kaleidoscope of colour and form, driving home the band’s love for punchy, lo-fi aesthetics. Another noteworthy mention is "Doing It Right", a homegrown and jubilant video shot by Swedish director Mattis Gustafsson. It features dancing children invading a local supermarket, much to the bemusement of the shoppers. Defying the standard music video ethos, each visual expression sparkles with an unvarnished, raw charm that mirrors their sonicsphere. What's particularly engaging about The Go! Team's oeuvre is their unshakable commitment to authenticity. Heavily involved in the miniature universes their videos create, they are often the DIY prop masters and choreographers themselves. That’s quite the pivot from the more common reliance on big-budget special effects in the industry. Whatever the song, it gets a visual narrative that humanizes the music and forms a deep emotional connection with the audience. Now, that's one way of leaving a definitive mark on spectator consciousness — and getting your music stuck in their heads for days!
