For the Apples’ first vid from New Magnetic Wonder, they went vintage with Elijah; next it was DIY in an SUV at Sundance; and now it’s sequenced still shots and pop art. Such is E6ers artistic progression.
Nice to see the Maxell blown away guy get some iconic love in there, right? Director Nol Honig explains:
My inspiration was to make something that looked old and new at the same time, since that is how The Apples in Stereo sound to me. “Can You Feel It” has a ‘modern retro’ sound, with influences from pop music of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, but is, at the same time, very 2007 in the way that it is put together. This was essentially my blueprint for the video: to combine and collage visual references from the past in a fresh, 3-D way. Since the lyrics are about “turning up the stereo,” I was drawn to advertising images of people and their home stereo systems from these decades. I love the design of those old advertisements, as well as the look of the old-school Hi Fi stereos, so I created a world in that style.
ID the ad references!

FIRST COMMENT! yeah.
As much as I love a dude singing songs meant for 5 year olds…he might want to learn how to write better lyrics
Apples In Stereo can do no wrong. They just seem to be getting better with age.

I really enjoy the catchy pop hooks of the Apples, but it was really frustrating to realize that the tracklisting is also the essentially the lyric sheet. Video is fun, but the effect is better used in “Float on” and better yet in “PDA”.
has an interesting enough aesthetic, kept my attention for a couple minutes.
