Interpretive Dance in 'Cold Front' for Laura Welsh

Interpretative dance takes center stage in Laura Welsh's new music video for "Cold Front" directed and edited by directing duo Daniel Cloud Campos & Tamara Levinson-Campos. A study in chiaroscuro, the black and white visuals bring a perfect simplicity to the synth patterns and reverb-ridden percussion track produced by Rhye's Robin Hannibal.

 

Commissioned by Dilly Gent and produced by Doomsday Entertainment, the choreography-centric video focuses on a dancer acting out the song’s theme of losing control of one's emotions.  It’s a stunning performance piece that moves with the track’s soul-pop sound, as we see her being toyed with by shadowy hands, placed in pitch black enveloping sheets, having sand and paint thrown at her, and finally, immersed in a pool of cleansing water.
