Everyone You Know (EYK) have shared a new video for their new single ‘Paper Aeroplanes’.
Directed by Jay Green (Nothing But Thieves, Biig Piig), the video was recorded entirely on an iPhone and channels the euphoria of a late night dancefloor with its wavy, transcendental visuals. Speaking about the video, director Jay Green says: ‘We aimed to capture the club night atmosphere in the “Paper Aeroplanes” video. To achieve a grainy, pixelated look reminiscent of Instagram stories, we used iPhones exclusively. With the small size and a selfie stick, we created dynamic shots that matched the virtual camera movements we were planning for the 3D scans. All the 3D scans were captured using Luma AI and we added lighting and camera movements in Unreal Engine. It’s incredible how much of the filmmaking process can be accomplished using what’s already in your pocket’.
The huge future summer anthem has already garnered key support from BBC Radio 1, Jack Saunders and Clara Amfo. The release follows EYK’s 12-track EP released in 2021, which included tracks such as ‘Higher’, ‘Radio’ and ‘Just For The Times’ featuring Joy Anonymous. The multi-faceted sibling duo have had a rapid rise to success in a short space of time amassing over 150 million worldwide streams. Fusing garage, dance and punk, the London based duo have built a cult following with tracks such as ‘She Don’t Dance’, (which featured on the FIFA 20 Soundtrack), ‘The Drive’ ‘Charlie’, ‘When The Sun Comes Up’ and ‘Our Generation’.
EYK have garnered key tastemaker support along the way, from the likes of Jack Saunders, BBC Introducing, Sunday Times Culture, Crack, Wonderland, NME, Complex, Notion, Gigwise, Clash and The Line of Best Fit positioning themselves as one of the most exciting and innovative new talents to come out of the UK.
As well as a sold out 15-date sold out UK tour at the end of 2021, the pair have become a firm fixture in the festival circuit, previously performing at Secret Garden Party, NASS, Sundown, Isle of Wight, Dot to Dot and of course rapturous shows at Reading & Leeds where they opened the BBC Radio 1 Dance tent. This summer, the duo will be performing on the mainstage at Secret Garden Party and will be supporting Noel Gallagher at Crystal Palace Park on 28th July.
With ‘Paper Aeroplanes’ out now and new music on the horizon, EYK are back with a bang and continue to cement their reputation as one of the most exciting artists currently in the UK. The video for ‘Paper Aeroplanes’ is out now!
