The new video for The Sound of Arrows' "Magic" will make you want to be a kid again. Set in a world where all the adults have disappeared, this short movie brings to mind the enchanting mystery of Del Toro’s Pan's Labyrinth and the playful imagination of Pixar’s creations. It's a perfect match for the duo's sweet and subtle synth pop.
The video is utterly enchanting and poignant with the two main characters roaming free across their Spanish city, before eventually stumbling upon a hidden enclave of magical creatures who become their friends and protectors. It's Where The Wild Things Are meets The Neverending Story," and every bit as fantastical, beguiling and eye-poppingly stunning as that sounds.
In a press release, the Swedish duo of Oskar Gullstrand and Stefan Storm explain that the video is supposed to be "childlike and youthful," which is the reason they aren't pictured in it. "When we were thinking about the video, Stefan and I first came up for about 200 ideas for a feature film. This is meant to be the trailer for that film." Watch it after the break.
