Seoul Spark Youthful Abandon in ‘Real June’ Video

The icy Montreal indie-poppers in Seoul have a unique ability at conjuring a youthful nostalgia out of delicate synth sweeps and hushed vocals, so it’s appropriate that their video for ‘Real June” (from last June’s I Become a Shade) evokes those teenage salad days. In the clip, stars Charlotte Loseth (who makes similarly moving ambient music as Sea Oleena) and Alex White do what kids do: ride bikes, throw Big Gulps at concrete walls, and, uh, drink a lot of Powerade. So some of it isn’t entirely legible, but director Julian Flavin — who also plays in Seoul — has the spirit right. Watch it here alongside a slate of upcoming tour dates.
