The Japanese House at the Bristol Thekla (Jessica Bartolini for Live4ever)
Marika Hackman is the star as life imitates art on the new Japanese House video Lilo.
First shared last month, the track succeeds a series of EPs for Amber Bain; “Filming this video was painful, easy, real and surreal all at once,” she reflects. “I asked Marika to be in the video because I couldn’t think who better to be in it than the person the song is about. I’m extremely grateful that she said yes; I’m lucky that my ex-girlfriend is also my best friend.”
“It was a slightly mad decision but ultimately, I think we captured exactly what I wanted to, which was a true and genuine representation of the love and intimacy we share. When I watch this video my heart breaks, but in kind of a nice way.”
