Today, Vancouver duo Doohickey Cubicle dropped the music video for Milano Sport.
The track is taken from their debut album Don’t Fix Anything 😉 which comes out on March 12, 2021.
A beautiful and dreamy synthpop tune.
About the music video:
Milano Sport is a bizarre fever dream featuring a miniature swimming pool soirée with some eccentric clay characters.
Regarding the origin of the song, Doohickey Cubicle explained: “We were in Milan starting a short tour and our accommodation was a storage unit in an old building (Airbnb trickery!). In a strange and heavy headspace, we set out to find a shower and after being turned down at several gyms, we stumbled upon MilanoSport. Very unprepared, we ended up swimming laps in packed lanes and drying off with our tee shirts. I left with an altered, say lighter, disposition and began jotting down words in my phone notes which became this song. For the video accompaniment, we built a miniature public pool with Sculpey clay, from the buoys to the flutter boards and a handful of fictional characters — shot during the early days of quarantine last March.
Milano Sport gets:
