Double Helix post video for debut single Rat Rave

Double Helix play Dream Bags Jaguar Shoes on Thursday, February 3rd.

London duo Double Helix have released their debut single Rat Rave on Slow Dance Records today.

Patrick Smith and Kim Engelhardt formed the band in July 2021, and have said the single’s video and its juxtaposing themes were inspired by the friend who stars in it:

“We wanted to create this inverted, surreal world where the juxtaposition of pain and euphoria are represented by shifts in colour. The girl in the video is an artist we know who has a hidden disability and crafts these resin sculptures from packaging of pain medication she takes.”

“She is also a badass party goer despite this, which inspired us to feature her along with the sculptures and create this solitary, stylised day in the life of our friend.”
