The xx/Chained
Here is our new video for Chained! Directed by Young Replicant, who were a pleasure to work with. Spending 2 days underwater wasn’t quite as easy as we thought. We love how it turned out, hope you enjoy too.
“Chained” is the second single to come from their critically acclaimed, number one album “Coexist” (Young Turks). Directed by Young Replicant, the video was made in conjunction with The Creators Project (a partnership between Intel and Vice) and sees the band bring the unique aesthetic of their latest album into the real world.
Upon its release, “Coexist” entered the charts at number one, and has since been receiving critical praise for both the album and the live shows that surrounded it. The band will be returning to the UK at the end of the year playing the following, already sold out shows:
