The Video:
Feverish anticipation continues to rise as Jack Davey and Brook D'Leau of J*DaVeY ready the release of their Warner Bros. album, New Designer Drug, for the world. Fortunately, J*DaVeY has prepared another visual feast to indulge those among us who cannot wait to get another fix from the genre bending duo with their new video for "Outta The Window." Electro sounds from the future collide with pop and soul sensibilities from way back when in this video that finds space age curiosities unfolding in a desert dystopia.
Helmed by director V-Chip, "Outta The Window" was brought to life through an organic guerilla-style shoot. "One camera, awesome location, awesome talent and a ton of creativity" explains V-Chip. Originally envisioned as an adventure through an ethereal abandoned carnival, the video took on a new life of its own once the crew discovered a desolate Mad Max-esque setting for the shoot. "In the end this location was so great," says Jack Davey, “All we needed was a camera, a few cool outfit changes, a psychedelic Indian, colored smoke balls and props found in the rubble." The otherworldly spirit of the video did not confine itself to the set, as Jack Davey returned to his car after shooting, only to find the battery drained of all life. "The sun was setting and the demolished buildings eerily lurked around us... it seemed to be the start of a horror flick as we waited for a triple tow truck to find us" recalls Jack. Luckily, J*DaVeY were rescued from the clutches of the shadows, and now Jack and Brook invite you to take a journey into the mirage of the mind with them.

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/
