<p>Watch the new video from Paper Cranes, <i>Little Darling</i>, directed by Nikki Castle.</p> <p>Nikki writes: "A while back I watched this fantastic BBC archival footage compilation of people dancing. To show how music can change the tone of seemingly happy visuals, the first video had been edited with what you might call "funky" music, but the second had this eerie classical number that took you into a whole new world. </p> <p>When I first heard <i>Little Darling</i> I immediately thought it had that spooky Lychian sound that could be perfectly contrasted with the fundamental joy of dance. The song itself is very layered in meaning, so I wanted to keep the visuals subtle and complimentary. We filmed the performance on one of Auckland's rainiest days a few months back at Mt Eden's historical cinema, Crystal Palace.</p> <p>Paper Cranes are booking a tour for mid January, with dates to be announced soon. Their next single (plus B side) will be out February 22. </p>
