Video: Chromeo: "Fancy Footwork"
If we learned anything from Fujiya & Miyagi, it's that the toe bone is connected to, well, the rest of the leg bones. Hard to believe Chromeo hadn't already released an official video for the title track from the Montreal duo's Pitchfork-recommended Fancy Footwork, but now that they have, they're not letting the song's synth-fancying grooves do their work on just feet. Disembodied legs (what, don't they know the hip bone's connected to the back bone?) strut their stuff, finally lining up Big Lebowski-style, while Chromeo's dressed-up P-Thugg and Dave-1 kick it like wedding singers tiny enough to stick on the cake next to the plastic bride and groom. The track itself is still playful and unabashedly nerdy, maybe not owning all those electro-funk moves, but selling them with 1980s-weaned ease.
