BURBS LYFE

About

My new song It’s all a Bluff is out through my own Burbs Live Your Fears Everyday imprint.
I’m really excited to share this track from the long awaited Man on a Wire Ep produced by Xavier De Rosnay (Out Nov 18th)

Rather than reproducing the successful formula that brought us together on Justice’s ‘Cross’ album, we explore quirky registers and create an infectious deep pop song. 

‘It’s all a Bluff’ comes with a video that builds on the quirkiness of the song. 

In the video, I reveal myself as a neo-Liberace survivor of the bloghaus era, with the monstrous and touching traits of a decomplexed man. Sometimes nostalgic, melancholic but always modern, as if Tony Clifton and Andy Kaufman had merged with the Phantom of the Opera to better talk to us about loneliness, self- mockery and dystopia. 

Hidden in the light, sensitive but never fragile, like the video I co-directed with Romain Kinnoo and performed too, which mixes Goblincore cuteness and suburban disillusionment.  

I found it touching to show how much of our time we spend lying about our image, to make ourselves more worthy of interest, in a daily life that increasingly requires us to be/look cool, despite a very present solitude. This clip is also a metaphor for the isolation we feel when we are too busy on social media. I wanted to show some skills of course but with a certain modesty and a more universal fragility. – DVNO
