Did you notice? / Damn right

The Internets foisted one of the best music videos in a very long time upon me a while ago. I don't remember from where exactly. The band is Carpark North, making good Danish guitar pop. The video is a bunch of gangly teenagers doing some pretty cracked out dancing, with a few laws of physics bent for good measure.

The post production company, Duckling, hosts a good streaming quicktime version of the video.

MTV Europe says this, scraped off of videoantville.org, who also has a good download link:

Artist: Carpark North
Video: Human
Director: Martin De Thura
Album: All Things To All People

Story: This week's MTV Pick Of The Week is Danish Carpark North and the first single from their new album "All Things To All People". This is the follow up to self-titled debut album "Carpark North" which was released in 2003. The track is called "Human" and is a classic guitar driven rock/pop song. Martin de Thura directs the video, which is a brilliant piece of film featuring amazing dancing kids in different environments, in the gym and in school interacting with each other. The director used to go to the school where the video was filmed. The camera seems to be focusing on the movements, body language and feelings of these children. You could say focusing on everything human.

What else: Carpark North consists of Søren, Morten, and Lau, all in their early 20ies. 1999 they started to form what is now Carpark North. But in the beginning they played under the name "WEED", not knowing what the word stood for. The band's debut album got great reviews in the Danish press and Carpark North sold over 40.000 copies in 2003. The kids who were casted for the "Human"-video were accepted if they dared to dance ugly. Most of the kids are dancers and maybe that was one of the reasons the video was shot in only two days.
