Following the release of their debut EP ‘Defence Mechanisms’, Sydney based alternative-rock quartet Second Idol has just revealed the accompanying video clip for the EP’s focus track ‘Out Of Time’ – filmed by Cam Davies, directed and edited by band member Maxine Gillon.

Shot at Good Loco in Marrickville, the clip depicts the band performing the song against a white backdrop, with grainy VHS effects creating a 90’s aesthetic. Featuring quick transitions and a range of filming techniques, the music video’s candidness faultlessly matches the song’s production and emotion.

Gillon and lead singer Kate Olivia talk about the meaning behind ‘Out Of Time’:

“We wanted to create a performance-based clip that borrows from the aesthetic and energy of Nine Inch Nails “March of the Pigs’. The idea was to present the liminal space of the band as a live entity. Given the reputation we’ve garnished as a compelling live act, we wanted to document the energy that exists between us on stage and put that at the forefront of our presentation as a band.”
