“Music and fashion belong together”
This is a collaboration between The Sonnets and Très Bien Shop.
“Music and fashion belong together”. So it’s always been, according to them. The Sonnets like good clothes. Très Bien Shop likes good music. A collaboration was easily made. The video to Montauk’s fantastic remix of “Sebastian Said” is their homage to good clothes and good music.
Montauk, a producer duo from Stockholm, made a remix of the original. Although the remix itself is done pretty smooth, the auto tune is a very controversial part. There are many people against it, especially in the electronic scene, and some are really fond of it. Personally, I don’t like it and I find it a waste of the pure sound in this track, but others might find it sound really good.
Trés Bien is a fashion store that The Sonnet’s like so they went and borrowed some clothes and shot the video on a desolated beach outside of Malmö in southern Sweden.
Do you remember the first time? The excitement you felt from the tape you stole from your older sister? The moment when you first fell in love with pop music. “We wanted to make something that bright and pure”. A pop music still blue-eyed, naive and and oh so young at heart. “We were inspired by the things that brought us back to that feeling”. The Style Council. The first summer with Charles and Sebastian in “Brideshead Revisited”. Prefab Sprout. Jimmy Connors last serve game against John McEnroe in the Wimbledon final in 1982. Emily Brontës “Wuthering Heights”. These things have together coloured “Sebastian Said”, the first taste from The Sonnets forthcoming album Western Harbour Blue.
The Sonnets’ single Sebastian Said has been released be released digitally February 24th by the Stockholm based music label Despotz Records.
