The McClymonts release video for new single 'Looking For Perfect'
Australian group The McClymonts today release the video for new single ‘Looking For Perfect’. The fourth single to be released from their sixth album Mayhem to Madness, the track is a gentle, stripped back ballad exploring the futility of looking for perfect in a relationship: ‘I want this as much as you do / If you're not looking for perfect / That makes me perfect for you’ Brooke sings. “In the world of social media, we think we have to be perfect with the way we look, act and what we say,” the band say. “In reality, it’s our imperfections that make us beautiful and accepting someone else’s flaws makes for the best relationship.”
The video, which documents a real life couple’s growing relationship, was directed by Onil Kotian who was also behind the camera for the video for previous single ‘Free Fall’. “Onil came up with a great concept of following a real couple in their everyday life for a few days. He captured the beauty and the ups and downs that comes with being in a “perfect” relationship,” the band say.
“Looking For Perfect’ is a track that I immediately envisioned to depict the beauty of the small moments that add up to become the most meaningful in any relationship,” director Kotian says. “Be it the simple touch of hands or the solitary contemplation, it’s the amalgamation of life’s most effortless moments that seem to possess the most relatability - which we then set out to capture for this music video with a real couple (Sarah & Gab), who embodied the sentiment in the song.”
Mayhem to Madness peaked at number 3 on the ARIA Album charts and went on to become the second highest selling country album in Australia for 2020, alongside earning six prestigious Golden Guitar nominations. The band are currently performing the last few dates of the Mayhem to Madness tour and tickets are on sale now.
