Today, we have a brand-new artist on Music Video Monday. Isabella&Sebastian are not who you’re probably thinking of. They’re the indie pop duo of Isabella deFir and Sebastian Stephens, two Memphis teenagers with a surprisingly mature sound. “Lavender” is their latest single recorded, at Young Avenue Sound.
“‘Lavender’ is a complex song that describes an enthralling young woman who uses her femininity to get what she wants,” says deFir. “Many have tried to break down her walls, and all have failed and been left brokenhearted. As dreamy as she seems, upon closer inspection of the lyrics, one may notice she is subtly falling apart, her flakey and unstable lifestyle being a defense mechanism to protect herself from whatever she may be hiding from. But one can’t help but fall in love with her, including the narrator of the story.”
The video by Landon Moore takes the duo inside the legendary Paula Raiford’s Disco Downtown. All I’ll say is, this video’s got a lot of disco balls.
