 The Video:
While the world impatiently waits for Jack Davey and Brook D’Leau of J*DaVeY to release their Warner Bros. album New Designer Drug, we are left to lust after their every creative morsel. Luckily, Jack and Brook have blessed us with a visual for their recently released freebie track "Get Together." Our favorite genre-scramblers serve up another gem made of one-part electronic music, two-parts soul, a dash of hip hop, and a little more than a pinch of sex appeal with a video that can only be described as a futuristic amalgamation of Tinkerbell meets The Shining.
Directed by up-and-coming filmmaker Veronica Hinds, the video takes viewers on a journey of transcendence as the main characters are lured away from their everyday lives by a floating orb of light that leads them to the entrance of the unknown. When asked about the main concept behind the video Jack Davey explains, "I kept seeing a processional march down a hallway... and wanted to convey the main characters following their light to a meeting place." This concept was adopted to convey the main message behind the song; transcendence - breaking free of the confines of the everyday to experience a life without boundaries. "People need to step out of their individual bubbles and start connecting with other people" says Jack Davey. "Step outside of your comfort zone and feel something new, try something new, speak to someone new, transcend." This message rings especially true with fans who recognize J*DaVeY for their refusal to be boxed into a stereotype or genre. When the glowing orb appears in front of you, will you follow it? Are you ready to break away from the confines of everyday life and explore a new dimension with Jack and Brook?

The Background:
After releasing The Beauty In Distortion and The Land Of The Lost double EP to high-acclaim, with features everywhere from the Fader to Allure to CSI: New York, and having performed with the likes of The Roots and Prince, J*DaVeY are prepared to build on their deafening buzz. Their forthcoming Warner Bros. release, New Designer Drug, will point toward a new direction for J*DaVeY, as the group dives into fresh sounds and retains the right of refusal to be boxed in, classified, or artistically stagnated. For now, you can download the first of three free downloadable EP’s here Boudoir Synema: The Great Mistapes: http://jdavey.bandcamp.com/
