Khruangbin - Evan Finds the Third Room (2018)

Seeing you dance makes me want to dance!

This week, a music video that does what music videos do best: make you happy, make you want to dance, and give you something to feel good about. Khruangbin’s Evan Finds the Third Room involves Han Li, a smiling lady in green, picking up an imaginary hula hoop while taking out the trash. She then proceeds to dance her way through Shanghai’s various neighbourhoods. Directed by Josh King, Evan Finds The Third Room came about after Laura Lee, who is Khruangbin’s bassist, asked him to think of a visual for the song.

In an interview with It’s Nice That, he says “When we listened to the track a few times we knew it needed some sort of happy movement, and it turned out that happy movement was imaginary hula-hooping.”

A cheerful video for a cheerful song.
