The world’s a hopeless place muses Chloe Qisha to her lover the morning after a night of romance; dancing round their nostalgia inducing hotel room, all the while playfully and desperately thwarting her lovers attempts at leaving, through seduction and mis-direction, repeatedly asking? When its forecast to rain, and there's people everywhere, and all the while just beneath the surface you get the sense we all know the worlds burning, and we’re all gonna die. Why leave, stay in, from the comfort of your bed, and enjoy the wonders of Sex, Drugs & Existential Dread.
Directed by 42’s Lillie Eiger, who is also Chloe’s creative director; this is the third music video collaboration from the two gifted storytellers, proceeded by ‘I Lied I’m Sorry,’ and ‘Sexy Goodbye.’ That when taken together build a cohesive and narratively engaging visual world that fully explores Chloe’s musical interests in creating nostalgic alternative pop, deeply rooted in her personal life experiences. Lillie is "the most incredible human being,” comments Chloe highlighting the extent of their creative relationship, that includes spending long hours in the British Library dreaming up new forward thinking and bold projects.
Lillie Eiger originally from Chicago, but now based in London is no stranger to collaborating with immensely talented artists, bringing a visual flair to their musical talents, having started her career photographing The XX on their 'I See You tour'. Followed by artists as varied as Billie Eilish and The Idles, while also photographing fashion shows. Lillie aside from her prodigious work with Chloe Qisha has also directed commercials such as Depop 'I don’t,' which blends her signature style with the distinct world view which is self evident in her work.
Lillie Eiger is repped by Matt Davey at Probation for Stills and Clancie Brennan at OB42 for Moving image.
