The 1975 - Frederick Paxton responds to ‘Shiny Collarbone’
เพลง
‘Shiny Collarbone’ from The 1975’s new album, ‘Notes On A Conditional Form’. Out now - the1975.lnk.to/noacf
The 1975 and Ben Ditto have curated an online exhibition of 15 artists responding to tracks from ‘NOACF’.
05 Frederick Paxton responds to ‘Shiny Collarbone’
Filmmaker and artist Frederick Paxton takes us on a journey into an unknown land. We begin on a mysterious train ride over a long bridge. A solitary figure in white falls through the darkness. At first it’s unclear where we are but as we move through the layers, through anonymous suburbs, it becomes apparent we’re in North Korea, at the Arirang Mass Games: a spectacular gymnastics and artistic festival held in Rungrado May Day Stadium in Pyongyang most years.
Paxton is interested in finding moments and places that reveal our shared humanity, our hidden euphoria. This is what he hears in ‘Shiny Collarbone’, in the looping ragga vocal (“Mash up the place/ Free up the order”) and the climbing synth.
“It has a strength to it, a weight to it, but there’s a euphoria hidden under that,” he says. “And that was also my takeaway from my brief experience in North Korea: you can subject humans to any sort of control and pain and suffering; but there’s always this human reality, a child being a child, or someone smiling, hidden underneath that.”
North Korea’s Mass Games are a visual representation of the country’s ideal of the collective whole. However, after filming their choreographed performances on his slow-motion camera and watching the slowed-down footage, Paxton found that the individuals in the group were revealed, that their characters became more apparent as time was slowed down and his attention focused in on them. Now, set to the music of this club track, the children in their sequined costumes with their pompoms, the undulating dancers carrying the giant Earth through the stadium and the parading soldiers show us how the human spirit is always present; how technology can reveal it, and how there’s beauty everywhere.

ความคิดเห็น
This might seem like an unpopular opinion but even as a The 1975 fan I can be allowed to think that their latest album is the weakest :( which is ironic cause Matty goes on and on about how that’s their best work yet but I just can’t help but think that the sound's somewhat...inorganic? Idk...ABIIOR was definitely stronger. PLS DON'T GET MAD AT ME I know they wanted to experiment with this sound and all but I personally can’t get into it. :(

Also about the irony of my username :^) there are obviously still a few songs that I actually really like. It’s just that the sound of them should’ve been the exception, not the entire aesthetic..
A banger of a song. One of my faves from the boys.
Crazy 🤗💜
Wait so is North Korea teaching that the earth is not a perfect sphere....
2:01〜すき
H&M music
Uffffff 🤤🤯🤤🤯🤤🤯
Anyone know songs that have the same sort of sound as the first 20 seconds? I love the whole song but I really vibe with that first bit
🌸북한이 왜 여기서 나와?🌸
1975를 북한으로 ㅡ The 1975 Live in North Korea
Why does this remind me of an Aphex Twin tune?
Kim Jong Un: “damn they got a fire ass song and some clean scenes of my country, 10/10 would recommend”
Something to be played for Jojo
The music gets better and better each time you listen to it.
It feels like I’m at Hollister and can’t see shit walking around looking for clothes I can’t see
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Graciella this is also for u and your collarbone
This is INSANE 💓
외국인들 다 좋다고 난리통 속에 한국인들만 어리둥절....
😼
I liked this song, but now I love it. This context makes it even cooler.
why the fuck was I bullied for my prominent collarbone and Adam apple?
This is so cool.
I know my ex is watching this so if you see this babe, I miss you and I want you back 😭
북한이 거기서 왜 나와...?
Lustrous clavicle.
Oooooo this is giving me the blaze x zhu vibes ~
You would hear this in a "how it's made" video in the background.
All these videos from the new album make me realise how important it is to read video descriptions
This whole album sucks. I’m extremely disappointed. Was a HUGE 1975 fan and couldn’t wait for notes on a conditional form to drop. But I guess the time for a brief inquiry into online relationships is over:(
Damn how many songs a month does the 1975 put out lol. Love it .
The video is so surreal. It leaves me wanting more, while at the same time I'm repulsed at the N. Korean regime that pushes this onto it's people. I think the children are enjoying themselves, but the majority of citizens are not faring so well, starvation and torture are common... I can't even imagine what it's like there now, with the pandemic. Maybe being a closed system they avoided it, but I doubt it.
I hope you guys cleared this sample
Did everyone really like this or just pretending?
Something you'd hear in the club 1995
I want a boyfriend who love The 1975.
UGH!
The 1975 never misses!!!
Gold Panda?
Be a different champion !!
THIS SONG IS EVERYTHING 💫💫💫💫
They never cease to amaze me!
I would’ve never expected The 1975 to release a music video where it’s nothing but clips of North Korea
Love the concept!!!!
This is far most the best track of this album
I love these guys so much

The description made me cry fucking thanks.
북한.........?
북한?!
I think Kim Jong-Un would approve that the visual is sick
425.
at least michel gondry and the chemical brothers didn't feel the need to call it a visualiser
북한이라니.... what is the meaning of this mv?
헐
뭐야 이거 갑분 북한
Apart from North Koreans suffering in pain, being controlled, dying of hunger, can't even wear jeans, cut their hair the way they want to, watch a movie they like, or even believe in Jesus Christ and/or other religions, I somehow hope that there's still joyness that they experience. In a cage they are in, I hope they still smile underneath the pain they're suffering with. I hope that joy and smile lasts.
I want to live inside the vibes this video gives
Definitely the type of song you’d hear in skins
Wtf is this North Korea
im DYING for this new sound, so great
They bouta play this at H&M
this is just weird
Someone had to pay their phone bill
wow
i still listen to this song daily
The soundtrack to the Supreme Leader's communist propaganda
I loved this song already but the visualizer made it even better 😍
Cinematic masterpiece
You ( Shiny Collarbone ) vs The guy she told you not to worry about ( Having No Heads )
This kinda sounds like it could be played in forever 21
what this song ????
why does this track get so much hate??? its a vibe lol
this feels like it would play at a fashion show

Songs like this one really oversaturated Notes. Love the boys but this was just dull filler that they probably made in an afternoon and slapped on the album just cos
this is soo cool

엥 북한?
WORST SONG EVER
shit , this sounds so much better with that visualizer-
쎔네일 한국같다했는데 북한이었네;
02:30 Indonesia

Every video you guys put out so far are well done and thought-out, this album truly is a breath of fresh air!!!
북한사진ㅇ... 뭐야
I’m wondering how this video could be taken ..! Cause it looks like North Korea! Did they go there?
This is sick, def gonna use in my next dj set. I love the experimental house sound of this.
Wait is that north korea?
Love my life
Algo tiene éste vídeo que me genera mucha nostalgia. No sé si la canción o las imágenes de Corea del Norte, pero he de decir que está genial.
ssssiiickkkk
is using footages from North Korea legal
Is this intended to have BBC ‘Humans’ opening sequence vibes
we love a versatile queen
i knew the vid is about North Korea. just feel so sad
YALL READ THE DESCRIPTION THIS SONG HAS VERY MUCH GROWN ON ME
