Pitchfork Forkcast: Video: Feist: "1234"

Video: Feist: "1234"

From now on we'd like a clause in Feist's record contract-- she gets to make 25 music videos a year as long as she dances in every one. In "One Evening", Feist dances with a nervous looking gentleman, performing a charmingly goofy synchronized routine. The "Mushaboom" video was Feist dancing with a crowd of people and best friend Peaches, who keeps on pulling Feist back to the ground each time she threatens to float away.

Her first video from The Reminder is even more Broadway than the "Mushaboom" clip. There aren't uniform costumes (dancers wear a mix of bright colors), and there is no set (it looks like it's in a hangar), but it is an elaborate choreographed dance with a few dozen cast members. And while we can't be sure, we think that Feist and co. do the dance in one continuous take, which means this clip is probably the result of many, many takes. The video was directed by Patrick Daughters, who also directed the video for "Mushaboom".
