YORKE / JOAN

Melbourne based Yorke, has collaborated with Arkansas (USA) duo joan to rework her current single ‘Window Shopping’, giving the playful alt-pop single a fresh new take.

The new version sees Yorke and alt-pop joan (Alan Thomas and Steven Ruthford) perform the disco-tinged single as a duet accompanied by an official video directed by Kyle Caulfield and produced by Yorke. Filmed during the current lockdown in Yorke’s tiny Melbourne apartment, the video took months to make and is the first video Yorke has produced.

Yorke says, “Making this music video during a lockdown was probably one of the most exhausting yet rewarding experience I’ve had yet in my career. I still can’t believe we actually achieved what we did. With many obstacles (such as click and collect (never again), a 5km radius, a 9pm curfew, the Bunnings website “hitting a snag” and trying to get giant masonite boards, props and wood up my tiny apartment stairs) in our way, Kyle took everything in his stride and together, we built/designed a set that I’m really proud of. We built this whole set by hand, and it practically killed us in the process (for real – I nearly got taken out by a masonite board) so I hope you love it as much as we do. Seeing the VFX come to light was insane – George, his team and Kyle did such an amazing job at that. Shout out to the Joan crew too for all their work, it wasn’t an easy shoot!”

Director Kyle Caulfield says, “Majority of music videos in the last couple of months, at least for myself, have followed down the route of visualisers, lyrics videos, or more generally being scrapped altogether. I made it quite the priority for months that this one was going to happen, in any way shape or form, and that it wasn’t going to look like a lockdown video. Yorke and I must have spent 100+ hours pulling together all the pieces to make this happen in our covid world, as new rules were introduced, we would adapt and find any solution we could. Typically, when working on clips in a normal world, 10-12 hour days on no sleep can be a thrill, seeing new locations, meeting new crew can all be exciting – it keeps you going. Doing 12-15 hour days on little to no sleep, in a lockdown from the one small space, is definitely a striking contrast. We definitely went insane at moments, the ups and downs of “there’s no way this is going to work” to “this will be the best thing I’ve ever made” were invigorating.”

The original ‘Window Shopping’ was created in just a few hours with Yorke finding musical inspiration in different sounds. If you listen closely, you’ll hear her playing the triangle, the Cabasa and a trash can, embracing the playful nature of the song.

The official video for ‘Window Shopping’ premiered this morning on YouTube joined by Yorke and Joan from different sides of the globe.
