Watch: Everything Everything - 'Photoshop Handsome'
JoeDiddly by Luke Slater November 10th, 2010

Earlier, quite some time earlier in fact, Everything Everything released a video for 'Photoshop Handsome'. That video has, however, now been re-done, to coincide with the release of the track as a single on January 17. You can watch it here. As ever, we'll let Jonathan from Everything Everything do the talking about what the concept behind the video was.

"Our new single Photoshop Handsome looks at the world of digital image manipulation and computer game re-incarnation. What would it feel like to come back to life as one of the 'perfected', false, immortal beings that adorn magazine covers, adverts and games?

We took the idea of photoshopping and digital re-imagining of the self to its most extreme conclusion with our new video. We laid out loose guidelines for a huge number of creative digital artists and let them run free with their imaginations, each editing literally only a few seconds of video in total.

"The result is a very colourful and diverse explosion of ideas, the image of ourselves re-imagined hundreds of times in 3 minutes. We hope to open the imagination and raise some thoughts about what it means to change our perceptions of ourselves to the extent we do."

The band will perform their debut album Man Alive with a 13-piece classical ensemble from the Royal Northern College of Music, both in Manchester (December 13) and London (December 15). They have also been announced as one of the acts on next year's NME tour. Dates below for that. There's also a "making of" video on Wired.co.uk.
