Washed Out: “Paralyzed” Video
“Human contact, and something as simple as a touch,
has new meaning in the context of today.”
Directed by Caroline Koning, the NSFW video for Washed Out’s new single “Paralyzed” was shot in her native Holland and show real-life couple Shay and Dorien.
Speaking about the video, Caroline Koning says, “Human contact, and something as simple as a touch, has new meaning in the context of today. These special times make the viewing experience of physical togetherness a different one, and I wanted to tap into that sentiment in a pure way. The couple we follow in the film capture this simplicity beautifully, and what we see on screen all happened very organically. Encapsulating a perhaps general longing for closeness through a very unpretentious narrative gives this spot a natural honesty that I think visualizes the track in a strong manner.”
“Paralyzed” is the third single from Washed Out’s upcoming album “Purple Noon”, his first full-length in three years, set to drop on August 7th through Sub Pop.
