North London three-piece Girl Ray share their new video for ‘Stupid Things’. Starring the band themselves and shot over the course of a weekend in Cambridge, director Alex Cantouris took inspiration from films such as Atonement and The Other Boleyn Girl.
Girl Ray’s Poppy Hankin said of the video:”We’d always thought a period drama influenced music video would be really fun to film. So we decided to get our Keira Knightley on and do a WWII romance.” The song itself is “about crushing really hard on someone, and finding myself doing fucking ridiculous things to feel like we’ve got some kind of connection,” says Hankin. “Watching films that they mentioned fleetingly or ordering their favourite drink at a bar. Very stupid but happens every single time, ha ha”.
