Chris first collaborated with Rex Orange County for ‘Love Is Easy’ back in 2017, they reunited again to tell a sweet romantic story for ‘Amazing’. The music video has a wonderful handcrafted quality to it, featuring hand puppets. It tells the charming story of Mr Hand, a milkman from a sun kissed alpine town going about his business milking cows and delivering milk. Then along comes a young lady who sweeps him off of his fingers.
The quirky handcrafted quality makes the perfect partnership for Rex’s romantic lyrics and daydream-like escapism sound of the music. Originally Chris suggested making a stop motion like they did for ‘Loving Is Easy, however due to time constraints they decided instead to go with puppeteering.
"It's really cool that [Rex] came back to us for a second one!" says Chris Ullens. "He said it was the sister song to the first one we did a video for, and that he wanted us to be back on it for that. But the schedule was mad - so instead of stop-motion we suggested puppeteering and he loved the idea. The schedule was still mad though, as we took four and a half weeks to deliver. But I'm really pleased with the result!"
